It's time once again for another HUGE THANK YOU to Kevin (Festevil3)!!

I got a call from Will (Motoxpress) around 4:30 today and he told me the battery in his car was dead and he was stuck in a parking lot. No biggy, I threw some cables in the back of my Festy and headed out to his location. When I get there we put the multimeter on his battery and it was REALLY dead. I hooked my car up to his to give him a jump and it immediately drags my engine down so I snap the throttle a little and tell him to give it a few minutes. We wait and then try his car and it spins over but it won't fire. We start checking things out and I leave my car running to help his battery build up. During all of this the fan in my car decides it would be a great time to check out. First we see a small stream of steam and as I'm running over to shut my car off...BOOM!! It blows a nice 1" wide by 8" long chunk out of the front of the top radiator tank and sprays coolant 10' in every direction. It actually bounced the chunk of tank off the radiator support and landed behind the car. So now we're BOTH stuck in the parking lot!

Will gets on the phone and rings up Festevil3 to tell him about our wonderful experience and to ask for help. Without hesitation Kevin says he will be there within an hour with a radiator and a tow dolly. We walk over to Wendy's to grab some food (since neither of us are going anywhere at that point) and before you know it, there's Kevin with parts and a tow! We get the spare radiator in my car, fill it with water, and get it going again. Then we load up Will's car and Kevin towed it all the way back to my shop so we could fix the ignition problem (it was the module in the dizzy, we got Will rolling again tonight too).

So I just want to add another big "Thank You" to this thread for Kevin. You and Alisa were lifesavers tonight!! And she wasn't even mad that 2 guys stuck in a parking lot called from out of the blue and you dropped everything to go help them. As I posted above, Kevin is one solid dude and his actions tonight only reinforce that fact.


Thanks again man, and you know if you ever need anything all you have to do is dial mine or Will's number :thumbup:
