Well, not all the time.
A couple of years ago several club members had gone for a drive on the
Blue Ridge Parkway, when it was noticed that a couple of the cars at the
tail end of the caravan, a red rubber bumper Midget and a white BGT
weren't with the main pack. Assuming (correctly) a mechanical
malfunction, the rest of us pulled off to send a rescue party, when a
Ranger pulled in with us. I asked him if he had seen a couple of cars
back down the road with problems. "yes, the red one had the hood up and
the station wagon had stopped to help"
