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.
