Helping a fellow Cobra owner

[fastraxsg]

I have been stopped a couple of times for various reasons, asked for jump starts, tows, help, gas, whatever. I even got asked for $20 bucks one time for a guy that had a battery die at a gas station, had an empty wallet, he just filled his tank and the guy at the station refused to help him without being paid $20 for the jump, no one who came up to the pump had cables. I loaned him the $20 and gave him my address and within a week I had my $20 back plus $5. My dad thought I was crazy along with most of my family. Since then, I've loaned guys a fiver here or there, some come back, some don't, some come back with more. I always thought that good deeds come back when you need them and I never wanted my wife to get stranded somewhere without help. God is fair and just.

Good thread, Bill.
The above is a great attitude.

Always remember "What goes around comes around."

Also, remember the "Golden Rule" is NOT "Those with the gold make the rules." (Though a lot of folks certainly seem to think it is these days.)
