Svx sighting

I was driving on interstate 80 going to brockway pa. I just happened to see a Green svx pulled over with Florida tags on it. The hood was up and a guy named Tim was standing there steem rolling all over the place. i pulled over and asked him if i could help with anything. He replied "NO you proably dont even know what kind of damn car this is so no you cant help me" I was like its a svx i have 2 of them and he was like wow thats a 1st. He didnt know a thing about the car so i took a look coolant was pouring all over the place. Then i happened to see tranny fluid and looked up the entire bottem of the radiator was gone where the tranny cooler is. i was like holy **** he was like "is that bad?" i was like very and i told him i have one at home in clearfield and would sell it to him for 50 bucks. Tim and I then went back to Clearfield Pa i showed him my car and grabed my tool kit and the radaitor went to NAPA got coolant and tranny fluid and a pice of cooler hose. Got back on i80 and went back to his car. I pulled the raidator and put the used one in put a new pice of 3/8 tranny cooler hose on and filled it with coolant and tranny fluid. He was like wow your a life saver he handed me a 110 bucks i was like tis ony 50 he was like take it your one of a kind it would have costed me more to have it replaced. He was then like is there anything else you need i was like yeah when you get back to Jacksonville Fl get online and Join www.subaru-svx.net and wrote it down for him and then he said thanks again we got on our way.
Just a story i thouhg i would share with you guys

That was very nice of you to help him out like that. I'm glad it was a fix that didnt' need to go to the dealer.

And why weren't you already in your own SVX cruising around? Either way great story. Highly doubt that'd happen out here in San Diego.

Nice meeting, too bad the meet monster got there early Good thing you came around or else he would have been stranded in PA for at least a week as Radiators are pricey and not always in stock at Stealerships

Good Samaritan! I'd stop for any SVX I saw as well. "Pay it Forward."
