Default ***** Thanks GB Vette *****

Well this is one of the many reasons that make this forum so great.

Back in April I wanted to buy a clear third brake light for the vette but the company that sold the brake light could not verify my Canadian address unless I had an American Express credit cards or bought the brake light using money order. So since I had a VISA and Mastercards I SOL. When I got home the brake light was removed from thier website so I couldn't buy the light using a money order.

I was talking to Gary (GB Vette) while I was at the cruise-in about what had happened with the brake light and he said that if I ever came across this situation again just contact him and he would buy the item and send it to me.

Well just last month I came across a clear third brake light on Ebay and it was the same company selling the light as before. So I contacted Gary and sure enough he bought the light for me. Well yesterday I was talking to the girlfriend and she mentioned the light arrived at the house in Langley, BC. What sucks is that I am in Chicago for the next two weeks working.

Once again Gary, thanks for doing this for me

Anyone who knows Gary knows he always exceeds your expectations, and if he says he'll do something for ya, you know he will.

FWIW Todd, many of us would have done the same for you...but you chose wisely in who to ask.

GB is one of the best members this forum has.

Yes many members would have done this for me such as yourself, EG Stangkiller, Trayc6 and the list goes on.

I think you were there having a few wobbly pops when I mentioned what happen when I tried to buy the light and when Gary made his offer to me.

For those that may not know who GB Vette is - www.gbvette.com

He has the most customised car on this Forum, bar none. And he does ALL of his own work. Amazingly talented and generous person.

This is an old pic - and pictures do NOT do his car justice.
