I thank you for the kind words. Truly. Thank you.
Some of us just can't help it. Yesterday we were at Coker Tire. I see a '37 Ford - nice car - has a Washington plate.... so I walk over to introduce myself. Get to talking and the guy is new to hot rodding.... and has an Accuair bag set up on the front of the car - and it's acting up he tells me. One side stuck in full inflate - the other side drooping at ride height. REALLY?? WTF.... we have a LONG drive ahead of us -- it's late afternoon. I go find a Corker guy and ask to use a lift once everyone is gone. SURE! Great!
Next up - get my son on the phone (Alex) who I know is buddies with the owner of Accuair.... text Alex - he texts owner - who promptly has a tech calling me. Alrighty now here we go!
Left there at 7:30 ish - sweating like a pig.... and now dirty..... But I got him level and riding at ride height for the rest of his very long journey.
My point??? Nobody else stayed to help -- nobody talked to this guy.... and he's stressed out and his wife is unhappy about the harsh ride and on and on. I'm the idiot with cancer - that's tired as all hell and hot.... and not really into hot rods with airbags.... but it's WHAT WE DO! It's why we have such a great community!! Run into the guy and his wife today and they're SO MUCH HAPPIER!! Which..... makes me happy! End of story. It made ME happy to help him.
