Stopped to help a guy on the interstate. He said he thought a jump would get the car going. I said I could do that, but I would need to turn around so my cables would reach. (There was what looked like a driveway, it wasn't, but it was flat enough and large enough I could turn around without being in traffic at all.) He said, "OK, I'll stop traffic!". I laughed. Thought he was joking. Nope. He walked out in the middle of the highway and started waving his hands! Cars were going around him at 70+ MPH. It's a wonder someone wasn't killed. He was taking a leak by the back of his car when the county sheriff pulled up. I was never so glad to see a LEO.
On the other hand, I passed an elderly couple with a flat tire. I mean elderly and it was very hot. He had his walker around to the back of the car and was giving her directions on how to get the spare out of the trunk. They let me change the tire. After I was done we talked for a minute and discovered we were teachers from the same part of the state (although obviously from different decades). His wife asked me for my address and sent me a McDonald's gift card in the mail.
Then my wife had a flat on the interstate. Yes, she can change her own tire, but I was only 10 minutes away so she called me to help. She had several stop and offer to help her, but told them I was on the way. Should she have trusted a stranger? She probably could have, but I'm glad she didn't.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
