All my worst car accidents have been in red Beetles.

When I was 7 my mom was driving me to school in our '67 red Beetle, and she clipped someone's fender at a stop sign while making a left. I cracked the windshield with my head because I wasn't sitting back like she always told me. I'm glad it was the side of my head, because if I had been sitting back it could have been my face. :O

When I was 20 I was driving my '72 red Beetle and I spun around on a curved bridge on black ice. Both bumpers of the car hit time and again as I banked down the bridge. Nothing was damaged except the bumpers and the tail pipe.

When I was 44 (last year ), a street sweeper ran a red light going down hill, and totaled my 2001 red New Beetle, and gave me whiplash.

I don't drive a red Beetle anymore.

Bike accidents: When I was 9, I rode my Schwinn Flying Star down a side trail which I took to avoid going down a steep hill. I let my front wheel go off into a washout while looking back over my shoulder, and I endo'd after I hit a large boulder head-on. My nose struck the bolt holding the handlebars on. My nose broke. I passed out and had a concussion.

I was rushed to the hospital in a red Beetle. :O
