Jeeper Experience: This is what the whole "Jeep Thing" is all about
Ok, here is the original thread, https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...anopolis.-Help!
Anyway, I'm 400 miles from home at a class here in Indianapolis, my brakes start squealing like crazy, very bad, very loud, can't roll down the windows loud, people looking at me with a horrified look loud.
I post the above post in the Tech forum. I was ready to go to a dealer, Midas, etc to get it fixed, then I get the post from 616fun that states, "Shoot me a pm. I'm 20 min from your class and have all the tools we'll need to sort this out." We go back and forth through PM, a phone call, and a few texts. It's all set. This was Monday, less than 24 hours after my call out, everything was set up for tonight. I show up tonight, meet Shelby first, the boxer, then 616fun, then his kids, then his wife. They welcomed me into their home, fed me dinner, great conversation. Headed to the garage, where we, or he as I mentioned in the other thread, fixed up the Jeep, talked, enjoyed a beverage. Afterwards, we talked for awhile longer. I'm back at my hotel, all set for my 400 mile trip home in the morning.
THIS is what Jeep'n is all about. I can't put into words the gratitude I have. This is phenomenal. I thought I would say something like, I don't know how I can repay 616fun, but it's not what I can pay, it is what I can do. I will answer the call when someone is need. This is what the Jeep way of life is about. This is why we wave at each other, this is what it is all about!
Like I said, I don't think what I have said above really relays the gratitude I have for 616fun and his family, but it needs to be said, that Jeepers rock!
