I think this all depends on where you live. In our part of the country, if you have car trouble, you normally only have to wait until the next car comes down the road (and sometimes that might take a while) to be picked up and taken to where you need to go - often they'll even wait and take you back to your car if you're outa' gas or something. I can understand people being unwilling to pick up hitchhikers in some parts of the country but out here in the sticks we live in a different world - Hell! we wave at everybody we meet - doesn't matter if we know 'em or not!
