Doing my bit for the average motorist

[ltd]

This morning about 8am I was heading up to Five Dock in Sydney to have the windows tinted on the recent daily driver I'd bought at the auctions. It's an FG cab chassis ute running on the dreaded (but cheap as) EGAS.
Anyway, traffic was crawling along and had been for the last 3klm roughly; you know, stop start, stop start. So, I was waiting patiently when all of a sudden BOOM. I'm thinking, "what in the ****" and realised I'd been rear ended.
Pulled over, got out and checked the damage.
Me, a mark on the towbar.
The other guy in a corolla; bumper bar, radiator, lights popped and broke their mounts, and a little damage to his bonnet.
He gave me his details, I took photos, he admitted fault and then I drove about 300 metres to my destination. I warned him about driving without coolant but he must have persisted with it to avoid police being called as he needed a tow.
Whilst waiting for my tints, I saw this guys car out the front of where I was and it had basically seized. Myself and a couple others helped push it off the road and further blocking traffic.

So, I'm doing my bit of ridding the world of automotive boredom, one corolla or camry at a time. I might even fortify it at my fathers metal factory incase of another idiot texting while driving.

BTW, I later went by my panel beater and had them check the chassis for damage, happy to report none.
I love cheap as chips daily cars, for if this was the G6E-T I'd be devastated.

Anyone else have a "built ford tough" moment?
