.....in case anyone thinks they have bad luck, here's a 100% true story from last night. Tuesday night/Wednesday morning we (Central Michigan) get 10" of snow on top of the maybe 16"-18" that was here already. Get home from the store, shovel my way to the shop.....miserable old antique snowblower won't start(this is one of those gigantic old walk-behinds that can process a mailbox, cat, other small critter in about 2 seconds flat). Soooooo......drag it into the paintbooth, let it warm up, ether the daylights out of it......(finally)it starts. I decide to let it cough & gag and warm up, so I go over to turn on the exhaust fan and suck out the fumes. Meanwhile, my LSC is setting about six feet away, minding it's own business, sans bumpers/trim/glass/etc. in the midst of one of my obsessive-compulsive preps for paint. Evidently, snowblower is pissed off because the Mark is getting more attention, or 'cause it's inside where it's warm, because the vibration (throttle is set at WFO) engages the drive.  It lunges across the floor and chows the left half of the fiberglass header panel......so, I've got MORE prep work to do.......they're predicting MORE snow tomorrow.......I want my mommy....... jim
