However, if it is a gorgeous babe in a bikini, then I will pull over personally and offer any help immediately....
But I have not yet found her.... After all these years.... She's due to pop up sometime....
im pretty sure "she" drives a Toyota

back on topic
we got hit with some decent snow here in Michigan and I took the family to go see her sister yesterday (it was me, the wifey, or almost 4 year old and our 11 week old, that leaves 2-3 empty seats in the truck)
it was only a 15 minute drive and in it there were 4 situations in which I choose to "act"
1 as we were driving a little Honda CRV in front of us made a left hand turn and wiped out into a snowbank
I pulled past the intersection and put on the hazards
when I saw in my rear view mirror that she had managed to back out of the snowbank and proceed on her way I continued on mine
2 came across a car with the hazards on, buried in a snow bank. it was some little import that had just slid of the road
I put on my hazards and slowed down enough to look into the vehicle to see if there was anyone left in it but it was empty so I continued on my way
3 coming up on the overpass I saw a huge cloud of snow, like you would see when the plow takes out a drift at 60 miles an hour so I slowed down and continued with care. once I reached the top of the overpass I found out the cloud had come from a little Suzuki spinning out, taking out the rear end of a blazer and bouncing of the front end of a f-150
everybody involved was OK (though the import was totaled and the blazer lost a rear wheel so that wasn't driving off on its own power
it looked like there were about 12 people there, all "young adults", some male, some female and NONE of em dressed for the sub zero windchill
I stopped and offered to at least take the girls and give them a ride to some place warm but they said they were ok
(as someone mentioned before, they had already called someone on their cellphone and help was the way)
so I kept going
4 before making it to her sisters I passed by a little neon with the hazards on, buried in a snowbank, exact same as #2 so no need for me to help there either.
now, in none of these situations was I required to get out of the truck, or out of my way to help anybody out, but I was more then willing too
I keep several towstraps both in the car as well as in the charger to pull people out of the snow and back into the street if I need to
as much as I hate to admit it, I was once young, stupid and the owner of an import on tires that were worthless in the snow and it only takes a second on two to get off of the road and into the ditch and I've had plenty of people come by and help me out
come to think of it, there was one guy driving a pick-up truck, he had a towstrap already looped to his truck with the other end tossed in the bed, took him all of 30 seconds to pull over, hook my car up, pull me out, unhook me, wave and be on his way
I think on my best day I musta pulled a dozed cars out of snowbanks with the charger
gotta love the AWD and winter tire combination
