Default Freebies, why this forum rules

...I wanted to post how grateful I am to this forum. Today, I received a set of Wet Okle neoprene covers for FREE from 84zz4vette after posting a want to BUY ad in the classified. These were the exact same seats down to the color and style I was looking for. Apparently these were Grumpy's before, and he had given them to 84zz4vette. He said they were a little dirty, I thought they had holes or things in them but they looked like they were barely used. I washed them and now they look new. If I remember right, he said they didnt match his interior, but because Grumpy gave them to him, he would also extend the favor and ship them for free. Unbelieveable.

Lets see, in the past I have also received- euro tail light harness, sorry I cannot remember who gave it to me.

And from Hardtop99, a free pair of OEM mufflers with tips to do a project with.

And, Rodney aka Crashed 94. I got a free O ring (the big one) that seals the trans to the diffy, becasue mine was leaking. I wanted a part number and he gave it to me for free. Lots of great people here.

With this generosity, I'm about to make a donation to the American Red Cross to benefit the less then fortunate down in the Gulf states.
