Chad--

Westys are safer than Volvos:
Westys are safer than Volvos-- especially for relationships. No woman has ever
hit on a guy driving a Westy. Many women go for guys in the seemingly safer
Volvo 760.

Westys are also safer than Volvos during a drought. The Westy holds 13 gallons
of drinking water. In the Volvo you'd have to take your chances drinking the
windshield washer fluid.

And the list could go on and on...

Westys are also safer than smoking. No links have ever been drawn between
cancer and Westfalias.

Westys are safe during an airline crash. No documented evidence links
Westfalias to any injury in a commercial air crash or collision.

Westys are wider than a tightrope. Therefore making them safer to walk on.

And this list could go on and on....

But, if all else fails, tell her you've forgotten about the Westy idea. You've
decided to get a motorcycle instead. Then let her talk you back into the
Westy.

FYI: My Westy is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Great on the road.
Comfortable to drive. And when I stop, no matter where I am, I'm home. And
here at home, it's Friday.

Happy Motoring
