Either way..having been rear ended by a ford truck I can verify that the
stock rear bumper of the vanagon is nothing but a piece of tin foil.  The
only thing that saved my van from being a total was the to hitch I had on.
It was the type that mounted to the tie down loops.  Normally bent outward
it was bent inward afterwards and from the shape of the bumper brackets the
only thing that saved me.  If I had still had my aircooled engine in it
would have still been a total as there would have been absolutely no crush
room.  Have now got a fastforward.ca rear bumper on mine.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
