I'm fine. I walked away unhurt physically. I was mentally wrecked for a couple of days. I absolutely love this car, even if it is a fat chick!

i saw your pics in the gallery & clicked the link to your website & didn't realise it had been the beetle that i had been showing my girfriend the day before 
good luck repairing your beetle, how easy do you think it will be? it's a bummer that it's not just the wing that's damaged, i noticed the dent around the lip of the front bonnet. look on the bright side though, you could've hit it head on & done the whole front in

If you're gonna crash that's not a bad way to do it. Good luck on the repairs!

Be happy. YOu hit somone, not someone hitting you and literally pushing you around. My fastback is a total because of that.
Good luck with the repairs; it should be fairly cheap. |
