YIKES

a BIG impact there..
Never seen the dash open up like that before
hopefully chassis is still OK ??

You may be lucky to find a one owner beetle somewhere...

Did You have seat belts on?

Very frightening..

how fast was this crash?

vassy66T1 - July 19th, 2012 at 05:07 PM

Take care mate

Cars can be replaced (as much as we love them) but bodies not so easy

Nickster - July 19th, 2012 at 08:27 PM

Ouch, not a nice sight. Hope you are okay. Sad to see a bug in this state

Looks like a side swipe, was it another car or one of those silly lamp posts?

whatnow - July 19th, 2012 at 08:39 PM

wow, big hit. glad you are ok but sorry to see what was obviously a super tidy bug in such a state.

Matt Ryan - July 19th, 2012 at 08:40 PM

Not trying to be callous but i reckon this should be a positive post about how well that Beetle took such a big hit.

You did very well getting out of that with a (big) bang on the head. There are safety experts around that reckon we should all be wearing helmets in stock current model cars.

Your beetle did a very good job looking after you for it's age.

Regards,

Matt.

baybuscamperkid - July 20th, 2012 at 11:27 AM

That is one hell of a hit, never seen an A-pillar or Dash tear!?

Gringo_54_oval - July 21st, 2012 at 01:42 AM

That's pretty disappointing to see.
Hope you make a quick recovery.
Sorry about your bug
