Thats awesome. Its great to hear stories of people who are genuinely
nice.
I've heard similar stories of brand-camaraderie when I used to peruse
the Aircooled VW newsgroup, rec.autos.makers.vw.aircooled (RAMVA as
they call it) .. my favorite was a guy who drove a Type I (beetle) and
he saw another beetle pulled over on the highway, so he stopped. It
was 3 young college girls whom he was more than willing to give a ride
to :)
