I've had some good people come through for me in similar situations.
How many times have you tried to compensate some good-doer that saves you're azz, and they won't accept? Many times for me, gives me renewed faith in mankind. :) |

This only took about a half hour and by now its 5pm so we had some dinner at the marina. Oh yeah , it finally stopped raining. That's the Throgs Neck Bridge in the backround for you New Yorkers who might recognize it

OK , so now it's 6 pm and we're still 6 hours from our destination and 2 hours from home. The front axle I was running on and bottomed out looks slightly bent too. So screw it......head home. Back on the cross Bronx...across the GW bridge...hop on the turnpike to this :(
