Default Thank you!

On the way to the Villages Golf Cars for a service appointment my cart began to loose speed.
I waved carts to go around me as I knew I was impeding traffic.
A kind woman slowed along side of me and heard my plight.
She stayed behind me the entire way just in case my cart stopped entirely.
She ignored all of the horns blaring and rude looks the entire way with me.
I never got her name but she was a lovely slim woman with short white hair driving a green cart with Spartan logo.
IF YOU KNOW HER - please let her know how much I appreciate her!
Do something kind for her please.

Much of life is subject to interpretation. Rude looks? Is it rude to when you see someone going below normal speed to look, to notice someone is with them. Actually tooting the horn, as you now need to pass two golf carts and can't be sure what either will do as you pass,

Obviously too late now. Cart running slow. Might have been wise to pull off the road and call the service center. Gas? Electric? Driving it can make the issue worse.

Don't know if I can put a plug in for a business but I have Kart Aide ($59.95 for 2 years). They are an emergency golf cart towing service. And I have found them to be super helpful when my cart breaks down.

That's what you were referring to, right?
