455 GTO.....thank you!
Permalink  

As some of you know last weekend i hit the mainland and purchased a skylark rag from Kim.He picked me up at the boat,took me to the insurance office,made sure i was happy and sold me the car at a VERY reasonable price.The engine sounded a lil tired but i was ok with that.Well the car died on the way home and Kim was not happy with that.Today there was a check in the mail for a very reasonable amount towards repairs.He was under no obligation to do that at all.I would like to thank Kim and of course Leuger for their hospitality and everything else they did for me that day.I will top this off with a donation to this site.THANX KIM!

Great job Kim , after we spoke that night I could hear it in your voice you were upset about what happened to Tim.

I meet Kim about 3 years ago because of this site and I am proud to say he has become a good friend of mine and he is the type of guy who is only a phone call away if you ever needed something, as you know Kim I am the same!!

Congrats big guy!!

Sorry about your father Randy. I hope things are a bit better for you now.

I hear you...

My wife's father (Carl) passed away last spring, and it took less than 24 hours for people to come sniffing around for stuff. Neighbours stating, "Carl said I can have his boat motor" Asking me; "What's going to happen to Carl's Kubota?" "Are you selling Carl's truck"?

Disgusting!furious I was burning inside ... but it was not my place, and it was the wrong time to "go off" on someone I barely knew.

Nice story Timbuk, that Kim sounds like a class act.
Randy, sorry about your dad and what you went through. When you go through times like that, it's stories like these that restore your faith in people....thankfully there are a lot of stories of guys like these in this little car community.
