My new Obama mower

The crumpling feature seems nice when you look at crash test data, with crash test dummies...but what actually happens when you're on the freeway and your car gets trailer slapped by an 80,000# semi? Or what happens when a ghetto cruiser or a hearse runs over the top of it and squashes it? The idea, I guess, is to make it fold up into the smallest possible pile of metal and still leave a hollow space in the middle for the occupants, but does it always happen that way?

I've pulled up next to "Smart Cars" in the semi, and looking down on them gives me an almost godlike feeling. One little move of my hand, and I could smash the "smart car" into a little teardrop-shaped piece of metal and send it flying into the next county. They would never be able to figure out where the plastic stopped and the human flesh began.

The crumpling feature

couldn't find this on the options label...? LOL It has also been around since the seventies....when hoods were made to buckle up in the middle instead of getting pushed off the hinges and thru the windshield in a head on...if it really matters ...l.

\ Having an RPM control on the mower, being able to put the mower on idle, or reduce the RPM to go through thin grass, is just too complicated. It's "squeeze handle and it goes", simple enough for any moron to use, and safe enough to keep people from hurting themselves.

My push mower has an engine throttle. Any of the other ones I've seen do.

Engine throttles rule.
