Kind mountain man loans his car to strangers, heroically rescuing them from roadside car trouble and saving their holiday vacation: 'He didn't have to trust us, but he did, without hesitation'

Perhaps I'm a jaded city slicker, but when you see someone on the side of the road with their car hood open, there's a part of me that thinks it's a robbery scam. My faith in humanity must be at an all-time low, because upon reading this next story, I was flabbergasted by a stranger's kindness. 

Like a character out of a Hallmark movie, this man shattered all of my doubts and evasive precautions, proving that there are still good people out there. 

 A mountain man discovered a married couple pulled off the highway in the woods, and instead of pressing on with his day, he stopped, helped them with a repair, and ultimately gave them his car to get all the way home to their cabin in one piece. Not only did he trust these strangers with his vehicle, but he also rescued them from the side of the road when nobody else would stop. Now that is a good man. 

Humans might not always have your best interest in mind, especially in the city, but I guess when you're out in the middle of nowhere, you may stumble upon a kind lumberjack willing to loan you his truck to get you off the road in one piece.
