ok.....so last FRI night I again went out with "Danny"....my "friend-only" date.....he took me to a lovely little Italian place....great wine, yummy eats and just great company.....when he took me home this time...he did come in and we chatted for a bit more....we had talked a bit here & there about both of us needing brake jobs etc....I told him how I had been squirrelling down some cash so I could get them done AND also have to put $$ aside for 3 new tires to boot...ouch right? he asked where I go to get my truck worked on...I tell him....and that my guy has said it may be around $300 to get the work done...ok...I trust the guy...been my mechanic since I was 18yrs old.... he left for the night....just a hug...so all is good.....then on SAT>..he calls and says he wants me to try HIS GUY for my brakes....and that he wants to come by the salon to chat....so yeh ok.....what have I got to lose right?....he comes by....gives me a piece of paper with directions on it AND....$200! omg.....I was shocked to say the least here!! he says he will NOT take NO for an answer....just that he is concerned for mine & the kids safety....and that it's a gift....a GIFT!! well...with tears rolling down my face....I barely squeak out an audible thank you to him......give him the biggest hug I can muster....and let him leave the salon while I dry my eyes.....so because of his generosity...not only did I get a lesser priced brake job BUT I can now afford the 3 new tires Ive been in need of to boot! AND>...Im getting those tires at SUCH a killer deal....only $119 each!! omg....the last tire I bought for my beast was $140!!
so there ya go.....Part 2 to the Chivalrous man!! WoW......what a great day!
