View Full Version : Just had a blowout on 470
I drive a great big Dodge and don't really have the outward appearance of a helpless person, but the guy that I kind of had to cut off to get off the road stopped to make certain that I had everything I needed to take care of the problem. I was able to change the tire myself, but it sure was nice to have a complete stranger take the time to look out for someone else.
That is becoming rare these days. Glad nothing too crazy happened in the blowout.

Good to hear! I guess that nice person didn't get the memo that it's the gubment's job to take care of us... [Coffee]

You know, one of the things that keeps me going through all of the BS in the world today is just what you described.
Every once in a while something gets effed up and somebody goes and restores your faith in humanity.
I bet he was a gun owner too.
The nicest people I know are gun owners.

When I had my blow out, the bum standing 10 feet away didn't even offer to put on my spare for money. I was supremely disappointed.
glad it all worked out! Blowouts can suck!

Cool, Sturn....I dig when stuff like that happens.
Didn't have a blowout but I got caught in a massive monsoon when I was jogging about 2 weeks ago. I had nowhere to go so I just sort of huddled up by a fence. The rain was coming down in sheets, I was totally soaked and some guy in a beautiful truck went out of his way to give me a lift home.
Nicest thing a total stranger had done for me ever. They are out there.
I had driven a friend home, in her car, during the blizzard of 2006. I told her I'd walk the mile home. I got maybe two blocks before a random tow truck driver picked me up off the side of the street and drove me home. He said he was just out helping people. Extremely out of character for any tow company I've ever known.
