Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this product a few weeks ago...as a deterrent to California drivers who love to love tap your vehicle while they parallel park. Just returned to my vehicle to find a middle-aged woman pacing back and forth in front of her car awaiting my return. Upon unlocking my vehicle, she asked if the car I unlocked was, in fact, my car...and when I said "yes it is", she exploded, demanding my insurance information and taking pictures of me with her iPhone. After I deciphered her babbling and looked at her precious Lexus, her bumper and grille were so indented and mangled that her car wouldn't start. Turns out that she was trying to pull front-on into the parallel parking spot behind me and hit the gas instead of the brakes. She creamed my beaver hitch and really did a number on her ride. Good news...not a scratch on my car...or the beaver hitch for that matter. She was convinced that a device (like my Smittybilt Beaver Step) was utterly illegal in California, and because of that, I would be partially responsible for the damage to her Lexus. One of the policeman actually laughed at her statement since she was the one that drove into the back of my car, reminded her that she was 100% liable for the damages to her vehicle, and asked if I would like a copy of the police report to file a claim to her insurance company. I obviously didn't need to, because these Smittybilt steps saved my rear...pun intended. I recommend these things to anyone...whether you're using it for an actual step...or a deterrent. They're super rugged...the picture doesn't do it justice. Awesome product!
