bumper
Car's impact guard
A bumper is a protective bar at the front or rear of a vehicle, designed to absorb impact in minor collisions.
The word extends to anything that buffers or protects: bumper cars, crib bumpers.
As an adjective, bumper means unusually large or abundant: a bumper crop, a bumper year.
Bumper-to-bumper describes traffic so dense that cars nearly touch, or warranty coverage that's comprehensive.
