Talk about unexpected problems with vehicles, Three months ago I had a starter difficulty which lock an iffy starter up, and my Exhaust pipe was leaking, Got those repaired and cost me nearly $400.00. :|
In October, I had overheating, and smokes coming out of my front hood, and found out there was a hole under the Radiator hose, had to replace the whole thing, cost me $800.00
And then in December I was having difficult with my brakes "front brakes", I heard noises, few weeks later it got worse, I couldn't hardly make a full stop while pressing the brakes,
So I took it to the shop today, at the same time I was so tight on money at this time of the season, I was praying that it would not cost too much, So when I called the shop next door to my house, asking if they checked on my brakes? And they told me they were looking at it now, will have to call back, So I waited for like 2 hours and called them back, They said they haven't done looking at it, I was like 
Wait a min. two hours ago they were looking at it and still hasn't done yet? So, then I asked him do you have any idea how much this is gotta cost me? He said Oh about $57. and some change, I was like praise the Lord! 
Finally something is cheap. 
I asked him when can I picked it up after you are done? He said why don't you come tomorrow. I'm like ok sure. 
So an hour later Roadrunner came over my house and gave me my keys for my car. I'm like You got my car? He said yes, And I said what's going on? You paid for it? He said "yes, Merry Christmas!" I was lost in space, He said "that's your Christmas present". I'm like no way! 
I almost lost it because earlier he gave me $40.00 and he also paid $57. to get my brakes repaired? I lost it big time, and gave him a hug and thanked him so much, After he left, I lost it again and started crying. 
So, I wanted to created this thread for Roadrunner and tell him Thank you so much again with all my heart!
That was the most sweetest thing anyone ever done for me. I'm greatful to have you as my brother in law, Hey it's not about gifts or money, It's just nobody really done something like that for me in a long time.

Thanks...but you didn't have to do this, but I know you were really...umm...thunderstruck...heh...but really, your car wasn't safe and with your boys, etc....and knowing you were kinda having a tight budget....AND I do believe in 'miracles' of Christmas and it's such something to treasure and cherish when reaching out to others, especially within family....
