Well deserved kudos for “Roger” at HORSEPOWER SALES, 2250-2 NW 15th Ave., Pompano Beach, FL (954-782-6700).
Late Friday, 11/9, I came to his shop with a bad misfire. A plug wire was arching out against a header, and the car just didn’t run too well on only 7 cylinders. Roger gave me a MSD wire to tie me over for the weekend, until I get my hands on a new set that I already have up North. There was no charge, just good will!

Thanks again, Roger

Regards, GRT

I love these kind of stories that one corvette owner comes to the aid of another. I had a chance to help a guy who had a radiator leak and a broken fan belt. I said I'd go for parts and I'd be back in 45 minutes, ( He was broke down on PA. RT. 476 northbound. Got him a gallon of anti-freeze and I got one of those emergencyfan belts. Anyway it got him home to Allentown, PA and he thanked me. Was nice to be a help besides just the 'Wave'
