Default Issues with Firemed

I called Firemed last night at 6:30, the parts are in for my brothers 86.5 and was wondering if we could borrow his timing tool. Then we get the sob story of how he left his wallet at his house while he was relaxing on his luxury 53 Ft mega yacht. He drives 50 miles one way at 70 mind you, to save on gas do to to a low tank; "no easy feet for him". He arrives around 8:00 to set things up and found the Drivers 4 Degrees off and Passenger 3 degrees off.
No less did we have to feed him we had to give him gas to get back to his house. I believe this was a ploy to get a free tank of gas, I vote he should sell the Yacht and use the money for gas.
Really
I really want to thank him for his time and effort to help us, going out of his way late in the day. He is a testimonial to the type of 928 owner we all like to say is a friend to the community.
Thanks Mike

Mark...
I finally get back to my little boat and get to see this...
I was embarrassed enough telling YOU I had old hiemers disease and forgot my frigging wallet 70 miles away on shore... now it's international knowledge..
That was the first time I've ever gone that slow to your house and not had to keep my eyes on the road...That was indeed the slowest trip I have ever made in a 928...
When that little "hey dummy, feed me gas" light comes on, it gets your attention
I didn't know you could actually see the Gulf of Mexico. (for 30 something miles)
I must tell the truth though...
I was after the food!!!!!!

Dude, I already gave up rock and roll, sex, and alcohol - Don't tell me I have to give that up too.....

Thanks Mark
This will probably be the shortest thread in history

Seriously....
Mark and family are a class act! I would go out of my way any day to help out....
Just don't ask him to hold the tools.
