Also trying to do my part to help people. I shoveled & pushed several vehicles BUT I got lots of FREE ICE CREAM party1: for this one.....& rightfully so since I had to hook up to him 3 times before he could keep it moving! :explosion
I would have helped him for free but who am I to turn down free ice cream!!

thats soooo funny, my girlfriend and i were debating on helping the pizza guy who was stuck at the end of the street. but we were unsure of how much pizza he had to barter with, lol.
p.s. i'd have helped him for free also, but he was in the deep stuff where he could have easily gone around. :twak: so we decided to leave him soak for a while.
:conceited

No recoveries for me. I spent the week up in north idaho in about 4-6 feet of snow depending on where I was.
They plow roads over there, unlike portland suburbs who never thought to buy any snowplows or prepare for winter weather (though its snowed every winter for the last 8 years that I've been here pretty much)
The rental Explorer pulls some pretty good 4wd drifts if you turn off the traction control.

Ive pulled numerous cars outta ditches, plenty off the sidewalk, and pushed a few up a hill or two. Yay drivers in bellingham not figuring out how to drive (snow or shine)
But by far my funniest was on the way to baker.
I was going up in my xj no problem (YAY) and see a woman in her BMW spinnin the tires. Now this was one of those women who wear way to much make up, have the intelligence of day old bagels, and got a brand new BMW from her probably considerably older husband/boyfriend. I pulled over and offered to help. She said i was to young to know what to do. I went back to my warm car waited 10 min and walked back to her. Offering to help again, she said "you probably can't do much, but if it'll make you feel better you can help" Oi vey. I wasn't doing this for me, I was doing it to be nice. I told her it would cost her this time. 20 bucks. 20 bucks later I told her, you need to put your chains on your rear drive tires, not the front ones. She claimed that wouldn't work, because and I quote "those cars have them on the front tires".
UGH.
Needless to say I just gave up and took my 20 dollars and left.

And the best part is we get drivers like that every day here in bellingham.
...
wait. thats not the best part. thats the worst part.
There was also that guy stuck at the bottom of a hill in his PT cruiser. I know what your thinking, PT Cruiser.... that was his first mistake. So we pull over the heep, hop out and offer help (it was me and my buddy) PT guy accepts and says if you can give me a push to get him goin' up the hill, that'd be great. So we oblige. We get him to back up a bit, ad then with us pushing we get him goin', wheels spinning he starts up the hill. ALRIGHT, we've saved another car! But being a PT driver, he stops halfway up the hill and opens his door leans out and yells, "Thanks for the push!" slams his door, and proceeds to spin his tires all the way back to the bottom of the hill.
I'm pretty sure the collective intelligence of Bellingham drivers (excluding myself and alex) is equal to the mental capacity of the metal shavings stuck in my shoe.
