Yep, I agree.  I flipped an 80 Scirocco about 7 years ago when
I first started driving.  The tow truck guy started it up and
drove it out of the ditch that I landed in on my side.  Of course
he pushed it on the wheels, first.  The service mgr at the 
dealer was telling me about how wife was at a stoplight in her
94 Jetta GL when a Blazer or something like that rearended her
at 50mph.  The rear end of the car was demolished of course,
but 3 of the 4 doors could still be opened!  That's impressive.
