I'm not helping that guy with anything. When he moved in there was a woman and a 2 year old kid, but he would cuss her so loudly in their back yard that we could hear it inside our house. Sometimes he would cuss her from inside the house and we could hear it plain as day in our yard. Trash. She has since left, which I'm thankful for.

He works out of his home, and being just one dude, things took a bit longer. Honestly worth it for what he saved us.

The story: Our 2007 Lexus needed a new alternator (or so we thought). Everywhere we took it wanted over $1k because on this stupid car the alternator is under the damn engine, and lifting the engine is a pill. We even considered doing it ourselves in the driveway with a friend's (and YouTube's) help. Luckily we were dissuaded from that.

My partner goes and is asking around, and a guy at one of the O'reillys hands him this guy's card. We got in touch and not only did he get discounts on parts, he was very straight with us about fixing it. Very communicative. Wasn't the alternator, something else was leaking oil on it, [more car-speak], etc... saved us thousands, actually took the time to diagnose and fix the problem and any others he saw. Gave us back a FIXED car, not a ticking time bomb money-pit.

100% recommend and will go back if anything else goes off about the car. Plus, he's just a cool dude.

It will never be enough for the nimbys here. They would like to treat the homeless, many of who aren't from here, better than the law abiding, tax paying citizens. They're not able to realize that without law abiding, tax paying citizens that helping them at all would not be possible.
If I owned land, I would not want a homeless encampment on it. Who would, except for the nimbys here?
