That was great, don’t remember it from my youth! The lady reminded me of a situation I had with a’71 318 Barracuda that I had in the late-seventies. It was wintertime with heavy snow & a slick highway. A Jeep had slid off of the road & I stopped and picked up the driver (no cell phones back then, remember). Another mile or so a Mercedes was down in the ditch. I stopped & picked up the occupants, a thirties-something man and his mother. She sat there & complained about my car being too small, not comfortable, & I don’t remember what else. I listened to her without responding but secretly thinking about asking her if she would like to get out? And thinking that my lowly little Barracuda was still mobile while their high-dollar Mercedes was sitting useless in the snow. Meanwhile, I noticed in the rear-view mirror her son in the backseat grimacing, probably worried that I just might kick them out!
I hauled the motley bunch to the next town where they could wait for a tow to retrieve their vehicles & went on with my business.
