This guy, @fastnos is one of them. He saw a message I posted about sheet metal valve covers. So he has the nerve to pm me about some he has had from forever sitting in his garage never used.
I said OK, let me know what you are thinking you would want for them. I sent him my phone number so he could send some photos. I don't hear from the guy for days.........I thought to myself, another go-nowhere lead. Then one morning, I had a text asking me for my address for shipping. He is going to give me a shipping quote I thought. Several more days go by and NOTHING!
Well, by this time I figure whatever, this may or may not turn into anything, no worries either way. About 4-5 days later I got another text from this guy. Here is what he wrote.
Hey Norm. Didn't make it last Sat. before they closed. Today was first day I could make it. Should be to you by Saturday.Hope they work!
WHAT??? he sent them? we didn't even talk price or shipping or anything else. Oh ya, he did say he wanted to keep the breathers and use them some other time. I missed that part then reread the message and replied. Go ahead and keep the breathers, no worries.
Guess what showed up today? Yep, the new-in-box sheet metal valve covers, hardware, re-useable gaskets, AND the breathers!!!! ( I can send them back to you )
This guy would not let me buy the valve covers from him, he would not let me pay for the shipping! I said at least let me pay for shipping!!! Nah, no worries he said in a text.
Well, I'll tell you what, If I am ever in this guy's neck of the woods, I'm buying him dinner or something to show my gratitude. Some of you other members may have dealt with Joe in the past and maybe met him. If so, you probably know what I'm talking about.
Joe, I sincerely appreciate your kindness. We have not met yet, but I feel like we are brothers from different mothers. It's people like you that give me hope in our society. If there is ever anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to say so.
Thank you, my Mopar friend
Rant over!
