Glad to hear everybody's safe, sorry for your Westy...

We've always felt that the 'Bricks' were just about the safest
form of transportation, aside from Suburbans and 18-wheelers.
I guess the silver lining is that your poor Westy did not get
smacked in vain; things could have been a lot worse if your wife and
kid were in a Corolla or something...
