Jon shared the following story in the Panton Forum. We thought it was well worth a share:
“I need to know who the kind Tire Fairy of Vergennes is.
“My car had a completely flat tire parked at the Kennedy Bros building. The tire flattened hours before I had out-of-town commitments that would leave me unable to deal with the situation immediately, so I unfortunately had to leave it in the space for a couple of days. I guess I’m old school because I assumed I would need to scrounge for a spare tire, tire iron, jack, etc to get this taken care of. But in the interim, I learned of the new handy tire repair kits that are apparently standard in most cars now. After a watching a YouTube tutorial while I was at the office yesterday, I went straight from work to deal with the tire and drive it to the good folks A&D Automotive for a look.
“When I arrived… the tire was miraculously full of air. I was stunned, confused, and amazed! Flabbergasted with gratitude! Confounded with appreciation! Flummoxed by indebtedness!
“Who was this Good Samaritan? Who is the tire fairy? I thank you immensely, and should you not reveal yourself, I hereby promise to pay it forward!”
