It pays to be a BITOG member...

[JeffKeryk]

This is a shout out and thank you to our friend @The Critic. On numerous occasions he has offered free help and advice; but be careful because his standards are a little off the charts...

The other day I asked him about a Prius; my grand niece needed a vehicle for school and work. He told me to forget the Prius and set me up with a perfect 2010 Civic LX-S (Special Edition) that he has serviced for friends. So he goes and gets the car and spends 2 days servicing everything, brake inspection, plastic welding a bumper tab and warshing the Civic. FYI, Critic runs his own "Stealership".

Let me just say I got a steal for a perfect rust free CA Civic; clean Hondas are prized around here. It will get Lilli through college. She sez, "This little car packs a punch."
Off to Cabrillo College and work, on hwy 1 Capitola.... My niece Wendy is raising 2 sets of twin girls on her own. Amazing family that I get to be part of.

Always great to have a good deal go down & help out a young driver to have a wonderful experience. This forum is a good community.

I get to pick my friends and am glad that I have known @JeffKeryk and @The Critic for many years. Both of these guys are really good people and I am glad to call them my friends.

Well, I had no idea! Kudos to @The Critic

 

[The Critic]

Thanks for the recognition, @JeffKeryk.

Happy to contribute to a good cause. It was only a few hours of easy work and I wanted the car to be in great shape for you.

My friends who owned this car were ready to sell it so this was truly the perfect situation for everyone.

You have no idea. A short time ago I mentioned I was putting together a starter tool kit to a young guy I know who is on his own. A couple days later a heavy box was delivered to my doorstep; @The Critic loaded it up with new Icon wrenches, extensions and so much more.

Don't let him know I might have kept a little for myself...

Apparently, it also pays to have an Unky Jeffy, too, lol!

No kidding. He's helped me lots over the years. I remember way back he even shipped me a bottle of super liquid chain lube.

His name really fits, in a great way

Congrats! Hope you know the business end of a hammer....

judging by the inspection report, I'm probably going to spend the better part of a month with a caulk gun permanently attached to my hand....

At this point in my life, this little bit of $$ will not make any difference to me but it just might change her's. When I service their cars, or whatever, first they only have to watch, then they have to help. Kids have energy for days, after all.

And I prefer, "dumb ol' uncle jeffy". Less expectations is good expectations, ya know.

I'm planning to do the timing chain on the K24 in the fall.

I must admit initially I was put off by his login name... But I too have found him to be rather clean an articulate.

Now, I am overcome with envy. Which is an unattractive personality trait.

Awesome!

Reminds me of a poster I have at work, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life but what we give" - Winston Churchill

It is very likely that every BITOG member that has over 1k posts and live in Ohio will come help you move, and paint the interior and exterior of your new home. Many hands make light work.

Congrats again on the new home!!
