okay whatever, if people prefer getting rear ended and their cars getting totaled.
Actually if a person got rear ended, regardless if the car gets totaled they would just get a new one. In a rear end accident the crash is always the rear drivers fault, its considered not being in control of your vehicle.
Also, older cars in the event of an accident may take less damage, bit repairing them would be a specialty due to older parts and skills. In the end fixing and older car may turn out more costly then a newer car.
