Speechless !

[rip]

Hi all ! Funny how things happen,I was just outside trying to get my car started after replacing my bathroom faucet no thanks to my landlord.If ya want it done right ya gotta do ityourself i guess !So i'm stressing abit and i go ouside in the freezin cold and wind to give the car another try,when my Neighbor calls me over.I barely know him and have been nextdoor for about 3 years now.He asked me what was up with my car and then hands me an envolope with all the paper work and keys to a 94 ford ranger ! Free and clear ! Nice truck in great shape ! Holy cow ! Thanks to my neighbor and My new Friend coldfeet My faith in the human race has been renewed !

Ok Landlord that is no help +freezing cold + car dont start+ other things = major stress..But because of the generousity of some very cool people (including most everyone here) i am renewed in my faith that there are some very good folks out there.I myself am the type of person that would give a complete stranger the shirt off my back and ask for nothing in return so it makes me feal good that i'm not alone.That and I GOT A FREE TRUCK !!!!!

I guess I don't understand - Why did you get a free truck and what did Cold Feet have to do with it?

Sorry still stressing abit trying to get my car going and it's not workin out to well ! That and in shock that someone I barely know(my neighbor) would just give me a truck that i at one time offered to pay him $800 for.Coldfeet in the UK sent me 6 very awsome old coins the other day(posted them then) I guess you could say that Dave (coldfeet) is a neighbor across the atlantic ! I hope y'all can figger out my ramblins here as now i got to go try that car ONE more time !

Boy for someone that was speechless i sure have had to type alot !

Ok now I udnerstand. Cold feet and the donated car have nothing to do with each other other than they were acts of kindness. That was really sweet of your neighbor to give you the car and sweet of cold feet to send the coins. There are good people out there - you just have to find them. Congratulations.

Somewhere, someplace, you went out of your way to help someone else in need.

As the old saying goes.

The next best thing to having a fine family is

having a good neighbor.

I agree with ya there for sure !I had a neighbor in Va (Sam)once that i gave my car and lawnmowers (push and riding) to when i moved.I just found a fellow treasure hunter on the internet that lives close to Sam ( Sams house is the site of an old mill store)and i sent him over to say hello do some treasure hunting and get Sams number so i can call.Gotta love this internet !

The guy i sent over to Sams(16 year old kid) Found an 1811 1/2 dollar and 2 silver dollars 1/4 mile from were i lived
