I was on a tight jobsite and one of the site guys was playing loader operator and tried to get past it. He was using the braille method, and the fiberglass did not appreciate it.
Here was the post-crash lineup.

The bumper folded like a tortilla.


When you work with plumbers, you fix everything with plumber's tape. The headlight and front corner were threatening to fall off and I have some jobs to finish before taking it for repairs.

No. When that jerk brake-checked my Superbeetle I hit it square to minimize the damage. Saved both headlights.
