    Well, heres the story. My nieghbor down the street comes by. he asks to borrow my car trailor to clean out some junk in this old mans barn. Reluctantly I say yes. He does the job and brings back my trailor with a 1927 ford roadster body, and a 40 ford frontend on it. He says he knows I like this stuff and wants to give it to me for letting him use the trailor.
    Needless to say I am more than a little stoked.

    The only thing left on anything that I loan to someone is dirt and maybe a few scratches! I guess it pays sometimes not to be an asshole, excellent score. Got pics?
     
  6. Great story. Proof that there is a little give left to go along w/ the take.

    If thats what he gave you, what did he get rid of?

    When people ask to borrow my car trailer I tell them to leave their wife for a deposit.


    So far no-one has taken me up on it ,wonder why?

    Great story.
    Being a nice guy is a karma thing, and it comes back around.

    While not as sweet as a T roadster body, my neighbor was cleaning out his garage and gave me a roller cabinet and a hydraulic press.

    This story is a great example of people doing the right thing. You both benefitted, no losers! Great job.


    But I'm telling you in advance, if I borrow your trailer, it's NOT coming back with hot rod parts on it. :p

    floor gouged, fenders scratched, etc..........

  26. That's where its at.
    I figured it was going to be a story of woe.

    Good to know that there are some good folks in the world.

    I thought this was going to be another "I got ripped off" post. Very cool to see something positive.

    Be careful, it could be a set up... Who know's what he'll want to borrow next??

    Seriously though, it's nice to hear cool stories like that. Congratulations.
