In Astoria, Oregon, Santa drives a car that needs regular old gas. Fuel attendant Bradley Rowe knows this better than anyone. He didn't see anyone who looked like Santa that morning of November 20th, but just chatted in his friendly way to his customers as he gassed up their cars. He mentioned to one man that he was hoping to get a $2000 loan to buy a car.
Later that day, a salesman from the KIA dealership stopped by the gas station. "You really made a good impression on somebody today..." he said. "When you get off work, you get to come by and pick out a car." Bradley didn't believe it at first, but yes, a customer had bought him a car. The stranger told the salesman that his life changed when he found his faith and now he had the opportunity to give back to somebody who was in need.
Bradley now has a 2016 Kia Sportage. He said, "I mostly just can't wrap my head around the sheer kindness of that complete stranger."
I'm sure it was Santa.
