Interesting theory but many of us need to do things like enter service stations, store parking lots and weird off road events like.... I dunno.. entering our driveways. There are also these crazy things called rail road crossing, speed bumps, pot holes, crowns and construction zones.

I don't know what bizarre fantasy land your car lives in but mine lives in the real world and whacks the subframe on something at least once a month.
