Most you guys know Dustin. He lives around the corner from me. He came by last Thursday night. Said he shredded an SX the weekend before and 4WP did get his replacement in and he was packing for Calrocs. I did'nt have a spare, but I had 4 on the rig. We promply went over and air'd one off. Off he went and one of my SX's got to compete in Calrocs :D

So he comes back last night. I see him rolling up the tire back on my wheel and it's got the familiar bright green sticker on it. "What's this?" He just gave me the BRAND NEW one he just got. The one he took was in good shape, lots of meat but a tad chewed up. I guess he added to it a little. Now the tire he took from me matches the rest of his anyway. I refused it at first, but he insisted and it was a done deal.

Anyway, I see on this board way too often when people get ripped off for helping people and bad news about vendors and such. It was a real refreashing suprise to get something back, specially a tire not only better, but brand new. Cheers to Dustin. :beer: :beer: :beer:

That's the way the world is supposed to turn. Nice to hear there's some considerate people left in the world.

One of the things my father always taught me is that when you borrow somebody's car, always return it with a full tank of gas. It's one of those little nothings that make people happy. Plus, next time you need to borrow a car, it'll only be easier on you too:D

Yep, that's Dustin... One of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet. :beer:

Dustin did all the custom work on his 94 Toy, including the recent coilover front end. Hmmmm, I wonder if he's still making payments on that thing.. :D He also designed and built my exocage...

Yup. I agree Glenn. Nice young man. Good people. If any of you ever get the chance to hang and/or wheel with this guy, do it. We can always use more of his attitude in our sport. :beer:

It does not suprise me that either one you guys are helping eachother out (both nice guys), but more the fact that 4WPW gave him a new tire, now thats odd!
