Johnny Peel

Rock 103 this morning told Mr. Peel they would pay his towing and hooked him up with a body shop who would do a good job at a good price to fix his car.

If Peel has to pay a nickle something is very wrong.

Whether our heroic soldiers fighting overseas or the heroic actions of this young man, Mr Peel just 22 years old, I believe America is hopeful of our nations future entrusted to these young people.

For every Paris Hilton there are dozens who march to a different drum.

Uh oh... I hope the insurance (if it was insured) would pay, or somebody else offers to pay. It's sad if his heroic action brought a negative consequence on him.

There is a problem with comparing this to something on a Reality Show.

Reality!

Good Show, Ol' Chap.

State Farm is refusing to pay as it is self inflicted. Also he only had liability insurance which is understandable since it was a car from the 80’s.

I’m not quiet sure what he did. Did he stop the car with his because it reads like the “mechanics” car was still rolling when the guy got in.
