Stuck in the snow

I have an F250 1989 HD 4X4 it is by no means a pretty truck but I just love the thing. Favorite vehicle I've ever owned. It pulls anything I hook to it, Trees, cars and trucks. This morning I see a brand new silverado that hit a drift of snow and lost it into a field. So I stop and see if he wants me to pull him out and he laughs at my truck and says that that piece of crap will probably fall apart. So i say watch this, I pull my strap out hook it up to my truck and then I drove to work. It was dark so I couldn't see the look on his face but I gurantee it was priceless! I hope whoever pulled him out used a FORD!!!

Michael....

I know I'm going to catch a little heat for not pulling him out but he should have been a little more appreciative that I even stopped at 4:40 am....

You aint gonna catch no heat from me. Infact I'm going to praise you with jumpy things!

There is a time & a place for all that Ford, Chevy, Dodge bashing & when it is 4:30 am & your stuck in a snowbank, well that just isn't the time. Actually that is when you simply slide your ego in your pocket & be appreciated that the Ford, Chevy, or Dodge is even willing to stop & help.

That man should have been grateful, but then again your in Jersey. He probally could'nt stand the idea of sliding his ego in his pocket.

I would have charged him upfront to pull him out. Arrogance on top of stupidity brings a High Price around me.

Easy there Parks

I would have smiled, said "You might be right", "Have a nice day", and left.

Very typical for that area, f2. Surprised you don't get pulled over up there on occasion for a "surprise" vehicle inspection. I've had that happen in Moorestown, Mount Holly and twice in Cherry Hill. Not a single ticket from any of them either "Ohhh,, that's a 1977,,,, Ohhhh,,, that doesn't need to follow My laws,,,, Ohhhh" They never give up trying though. Farther south, where I am based, it's never a problem at all. Don't even look at us old truck likers.

That man should have been grateful, but then again your in Jersey.
We're not All like that, Parks But, fear not,, I take no offense. Actually thought it was sorta funny, thus the faces.

I know, I understood correctly!

Actually attitudes are like that every where just more reputable in Jersey!
Not all people in Jersey are bad either. Just 99.9% of the population!
