Daizey 0 #1 November 26, 2002 Today I went to get my car fixed and i was kinda nervous about it. My roadside assistance towed it to the nearrest place-so wasn't sure how god they were. It was a small little place, but when i walked inside, i felt better. Thats because, I walked into the office and all i saw were skydiving pictures-everywhere! The place was owned and operated by skydivers! Sweet, right? They were the nicest people! They understood that i was a poor college student and took pity on me I was like, greaaaat. Turns out they got the part at a disocunt-and gave me the part at that price-$200! Theygave me a free oil change too! These people were amazing and so informative. They helped me out so much - they included me in everything they did every step of the way. if they fixed soemthing they immediately took the car out for a drive-with me in-to see if it made a difference-and it did! I have never been to a place like this-I think its because it was run by skydivers! I have come to learn that skydivers are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Between the people I have met on here and the people i have met in person, i have learned that people in this sport are like no other people-they're so much better! haha There is one downside to this story-my trip to Vegas, is not gonna happen for a long time now Even with the discounts I still spent a lot of money *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #7 November 26, 2002 Daizey, the least you could do would be to give these fine people a mention by name/location etc....

Daizey 0 #10 November 26, 2002 Its in the Roslyn Heights/East Hills area (Long Island, New York) It was a small little gas station/garage place-I think it was called Macro tune. I'll have to look at the bill again but that sounds right *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #11 November 26, 2002 You know, I worked in a garage when I was a teenager, and it was the coldest freakin job I ever had. You gotta have the doors open all the time when your running engines. I can only imagine how cold it must be doing that kind of work in New York! My suggestion? If you are a baker, bring them some freshly baked warm cookies. If not, buy them some freshly baked warm cookies. That is absolutely great karma. I'm happy for you and it makes me happy that nice people do nice things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
