I was hit in the rear by a young woman on the phone while I was waiting at the traffic lights in my VS Clubsport in George Street, Sydney.
A busy area with lots of stop and start traffic so why wouldn’t she be paying attention is beyond me.
I watched it all in my rear view mirror and she didn’t know I was sitting there until she hit me.
I got out, had a look at the damage and thought to myself what a mess my towbar had made of the front of her Honda.
Her front bar was laying on the pavement and my car had nothing more than a couple of scuff marks on the rear bumper.
When I took the Clubby in to have it fixed under her insurance it was written off because the boot pan was buckled.
It felt and seemed to drive okay but when you lifted up the carpet you could see and feel the ripple in the floor.
One dead HSV because of an old shitbox Honda Civic with an idiot behind the wheel.
Still I put another towbar on the replacement car as they do work well if the other car just bumps you.

Strange write off.....The rear of my VC is pushed in, creased boot floor, popped the indicator lenses from the housing however the rear quarters are straight as....Panel beaters didn't write it off when it happened about 3 years ago....Quoted $3,500 for repairs to the car....Didn't have a tow bar either.
Anyways, slightly off topic, but could be classed as sort of relevant to the topic too...
