Some things are cooler than $$$
So last week I had a call from a Lamborghini dealer who needed a part for a 60 Roadster. It was a weird obscure part and not easy to get off so I passed him onto someone else. He called back and said no one had the part, but that he would drive up from NJ and pull it off himself, apparently the Roadster belonged to the owner of the dealership so it was very important. I figured I should step in and I pulled the part and sent it to him, no charge. How do you price a strange bracket anyway. Well, Karma came back today in the form of a box full of Lambo coolness. I would probably never go out and buy a Lambo coffee mug and I doubt Matt would pick up a Lambo shirt but we are both enjoying both. Somethings are cooler than money, Lambo swag is one of them.
Quiz question, what is the bracket? ---Adam

Actually that is the clamp that holds and properly locates the steering stabilizer.

cool shirt, but I think the kids these days are only leaving the garment manufacture's sticker on the bill of a cap, not on a tee-shirt...  good story though, and it does prove the old "goes around comes around" saying as going both ways. good on you my man!

Class act. That's great karma, beyond the free trinkets.
A greedier person would have tried to exploit the vulnerable position the other party was clearly in. People don't forget stuff like that.
