More good vibes

I was on the road again with my kids when I saw an older lady on the side of the crying.

Well of course that doesn't look normal. I turned around and saw it was just a flat tire. I told my kids if she has a spare I change it. Well she had no tools to go with the tire.

My Trusty OEM Maverick Tremor [Any Maverick] jack and tools got job done. The lady was in her upper 50's and just needed a hand ✋️.

We were delayed 15 minutes, but when I need help I hope those 15 minutes will remember me.

Nice one! Older lady? I'm 66 so I would have been pulling over to help a younger lady

Wow...
- Free roadside tire swap
- And you waved the $100 fee for crying over a flat tire

Good man! Lucky lady!

I once tried to help a lady in a parking lot. Jacked up her car, talked her through everything I was about to do (trying to teach her how to fish, rather than handing her a fish). Got the lug nuts off. Then the wheel simply would not come off.

She waited until that moment to tell me that the last mechanic to work on the car had to use a sledgehammer for 10 minutes to get that wheel off. Needless to say, I put the lug nuts back on, jacked her car back down, put everything away in the trunk, and waited with her until AAA arrived to tow the car.

Help is help. I still appreciate you for that.

I'd be willing to bet she remembers your kind offer to help- long after the AAA left. Good job!!

Thanks for making the world a better place.

You probably changed more than her tire . . . perhaps her faith in human kindness.

I've done this a couple times too. The last time I was helping someone push an MG hoping it would start and it was hellish. Never got it running though.

But I've also had a couple, let's just say "awkward" encounters too. Some that make you regret stopping or asking if they need help at all. In fact, a buddy of mine just recently caught an event on his dashcam after a group of kids drove off the road and apparently the vehicle was stolen. WA plates and they were in MT. Not uncommon, but they tried to rush him. He managed to drive off safely, somehow, since he never even got out of his truck and could tell by the body language when he pulled up that something wasn't right. He didn't CCW before, but he does now...

Anyways... sometimes you can tell and sometimes you can't, so just be safe out there.

Good man. What's comes around goes around.

Funny coming from someone that advocated property destruction over a parking spot... I guess you'd know best. Actually, you've mentioned petty destruction (criminal mischief in the 2nd degree) multiple times on this forum.

Wear that badge of honor in your pic proudly, it'll come back around...
