...rather something I thought was extinct somewhere back inna early '60's. Today I saw a newer Honda Accord with a "curb feeler" attached to the right front corner.

Wazzupwidat?!? Memoribilia? Nostalgia?
 
I've still got the curb feeler from my 1959 Plymouth Sport Suburban wagon. Sold the car. Also kept the Motor Minder vacuum gauge.
 
the kids that spend large amounts of money on fancy plastic to wrap around the bottom on their lowered sake-rods have finally found how useful those things are. I've started to see them here and there. They'll all have 'em soon.
 
So where all all of the "Suicide Knobs"?
I've got one in the garage.

They were alive and well on ghetto hoopties in the 80's down here and considered a joke.
 
Even the "pimple my hide" folks been putting them on their abortio.....errr....rebuilds.
 
pretty much, kids are putting them on their rice rods to protect their $400 front splitters made out of carbon fiber, because they don't want to damage it ...

Why anyone would want to put such an expensive body part on the lowest part of a daily driven car that scrapes the ground already is beyond me... well, i take that back, I 'get it', but I don't get the wasting money part... :\
