Default If only....

If only the rest of the US adopted the low profile wheel/curb stops in parking lots like the factory! Does the GS come with its own?

Would be great if all the curb stops were that low.

And, love the color combo on that GS.

That's what the front cameras are for!

Also, it is what institutional awareness if for. Those of us without front cameras do pretty well with that after a short learning curve. I remember, as a kid, when I was the remote control in my family. "Turn it to channel X and get me a beer." was an often heard command in my living room.

I also had the first trunk popper fob in my town and I told people I could open my trunk with my whistle that was programmed only for me. I had 5 PhDs trying to make my trunk pop by duplicating my whistle. Gotta love it!

If they where that small then people who drive the larger SUV's would run over them like a small bump in the road. They build stuff to protect people from idiots.

It's only that low because the asphalt has been paved over multiple times. Look at the curb height.
