Default Big Thank You!!!!

Apparently earlier in the day i hit a pothole and I checked everything (leaks , damage) and I thought I was fine.

Well I was with Mrs. GSoup and the kids heading back from Long Island last night . My ride started feeling weird. I had a thumping noise on my passenger side front wheel. I pull over and i check it out to, to find that I'm missing a stud and I had just broken another one. I must have cracked the studs earlier and I was unaware of it.

So i'm there thinking ok.... 2 adjacent studs broken on a highway and its saturday night @ 10pm How screwed am I? So I make some calls to my NELOC bro's...

Tony (NYAristo) shows up first in the green machine and we get the ride to the nearest gas station 1 mile up. I spoke with Todd and by some miracle he had just given Greg a wheel hub that had studs on it. So he made a phone call to Greg. A few minutes later, Todd & Greg were on their way with studs. I tell you how lucky am I

So we got my baby up and running, thanks to my boys from NELOC

I just wanted to say, that me and the misses really want to thank you guys for helping me out. It's times like this that really make me appreciate the friends I have made here. Like I said last night , if you ever need anything and I can help out , consider it done

Oh and sorry guys for making you miss the Pacquiao fight I really wanted to see the fight also.

Oh and Tony thanks for not turning the meter on in the green machine..

Hey Carlos... No thanx needed!



I was more than happy to help... It was more important that you, the misses and the kids got home safely. Next time please break down closer to home!

Big props to Tony and Greg (DJdot2k) for coming down to help!

The boosted crew can't survive without a little help from our friends.

This is a great example of why I had a good vibe from Neloc in white marsh. My wife(LittleGz) drives the Lex, but being around everyone and listening to stories like this makes me want to get my own. Way to NELOC!!! Much props .

Rare,, Neloc is a very close family, and even though you have the Galant, it is sinister enough to get our assistance if needed as well. Besides, It is not really about the cars, but the people who drive them. The cars do help a little in the icebreaking process though, but once you're in,, you're in!!
