For those who haven't checked out this Westy for sale on ebay it sounds like
quite a story. So if you think you're having a bad day--check out the earlier
listed ebay listing.

The short of it is it was the guy's daughter's Westy, her "pride and joy".
The engine needed to be replaced and he purchsed a used engine--I think after
spending for a poorly rebuilt unit that also blew. While the Westy was being
towed on a trialer to a place for repair by the same guy's Toyota Land
Cruiser, the kid driving the guy's Toyota went too fast and flipped both the
Westy and the Toyota.

That's a two-fer. And that's gotta S*#@%.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and Shirley , the old lady across the street
had a friend drive her down to pick up her mint Chevy Caprice from the
service station. To go to pick up the Caprice Shirley drove down in her mint
Impala since the friend didn't have her car that day. On the way home with
Shirley in her mint Caprice, he friend behind her in Shirley's mint Impala
rear ended her on the highway after a quick stop. Both Chevys banged up
pretty good. Not totaled, but pretty bad. That's a two-fer. And there's
nothing fun about a day like that.

Suddenly that shopping cart dent seem so bad.
