Wow that sounds like a pretty good deal Gerry.

Took me about 20 minutes to get him out because I ended up dragging him through the snowbank which was about 3 feet deep

Thanks Gerry, and yes he did offer me money. I felt bad for taking it but I didn't take the full amount he offered me. Normally I don't take the money but I like to be offered. I do it because if I got stuck I would want someone to help me out. After I pulled him out my girlfriend looked at me and said "your so kind to others that you don't even know", that put a smile on my face

Unfortunately no I didn't. We got home late and by the time we had everything unpacked and our puppy gate set up so he can't go into the basement we were both just too pooped from the long drive and all the crapy food we had been eating (getting our fix of fast food because we don't have any in Gillam). And now I work evenings so I don't get home till 12pm tonight, have to wait till tomorrow lol

I`ve had a pile of Ford trucks but trying to keep up to Sherm doesn`t work.
My son bought my 05 F350 in 09, unfortunately my grand daughter hit slippery patch and rolled it last Oct., luckily she wasn`t hurt at all.
Now my grand son has his eye on my 98 Ranger, likely this fall he`ll be the proud new owner. His dad bought a new Ranger two years ago.

I like my 98 Ranger, it`s handy and easy to park in town.

HeeHee-HooHoo-HawHaw...chebby in the ditch... Good on ya for helping the guy out (tried to rep u but I gotta spread the love around I guess), I like to help others also when the opportunity arises. Never pass up the opportunity to tow another brand. I'd have refused the cash on the grounds that the guy get a window sticker that reads "I got towed by a Ford"... Nah...I like cash...

I'm done for a while now This F350 has maximum everything a guy could want. What it doesn't have my cobra makes up for. Ok, I'm looking for a little regular cab/4cyl/5sp ranger, and a 72-79 F250 Highboy 4x4, and a 67 Mustang GT, and a 69 Mach1, and a 04 mach1, and a 72 dodge challenger...never mind...lol

Most of the time I don't accept, also depending on what the favour is, if its a friend I usually do it for free.

Most of the time in town, my girlfriend and I just use her little Sunfire.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to invest in some road armour or iron cross bumper system with built in winch :-)
