I have always been a firm believer that when someone graces you in a time of need and helps you out that to keep good karma I can not keep it but only to pay it forward. This weekend I got in a bind and needed to move my rig, low and behold wouldn't you know it I had my tow vehicle in the shop 100 miles from me. my only resource was to hopefully hire a dealer to move me and since I did not know the area I decided to go out and pick some of the local minds. I drove in a small county park next to one of the many little prairie towns here in the high plains. I was visiting with one of the campers and a all of a sudden in the corner I see an Excel.
I went over and introduced my self and explained my bind, now I don't know if this was luck but the man I was talking to is the president of the Iowa Excel Club and he offered to save my sorry behind. So this is one that I am for sure paying forward.....some one with an Excel some day will get a tow by me when they are in a bind....Thanks so much Lynn and Alice

I don't understand the part about waiting for an Excel to pay it forward. I'm not sure Karma works that way.

Stillwater- I am not sure the OP said he was waiting for an Excel owner - but I am going to venture to guess that he went to the Excel owner because he was pretty sure the Tow Vehicle would be able to handle the weight of his Excel. (Most Excels are heavier than other fiver-brands - so the chances of the tow vehicle being able to handle the Excel weight are pretty high!)...but that is just my guesstimate!

This whole country would be a whole lot happier if everyone would work on the Pay it Forward theory.
