This happened on the mccarter highway just as soon as you enter newark. The guy didn't have the jack when he first spotted me think he ran across the street to a nearby gas station and returned after 10 minutes with jack. Makes me think he's changed a flat tire or two for some dope money. I had a brief stint in federal law enforcement where I dealt with junkie informants almost daily. This guy was definitely a basehead. Once I have him the money he ran right off very deliberately in a certain direction. I was hesitant to even roll down the window to give him the money. I give the man an A for deteremination though.
The part is made in France oddly enough serial number is 98633118400.

Oh yeah and my gas tank is still full.

When I was in college I had my car (a 944) break down on the way to work by a shelter where a bunch of homeless guys were waiting to go in. A few of them came over and helped me push my car out of the way.

Back in the day, if you were stranded in Newark, it was all over.

Glad this turned out OK.
