Thanks for posting.

I was surprised at how strong Vanagon's fronts where. I just assumed you had
a front row seat to the Vanagon's crumple zone in a wreck and where lucky to
die quickly.

Still looking for crash pics of old bugs, karmann ghia's, etc to
prove/disprove my theories of rear-engined safety :)
