Default stop and help

on my way to orlando, manny and I saw a 90 corvette pulled off of I4. So i stopped to see if i could help. It turned out it was a ladie driver, and her tire blew out. she called a toll truck to help her out, i didnt have a jack and neither did she. So I had to leave cause we were already late, but i was going to help her if i could, no matter if it would have been a male or woman i just wanted to help. how many of you stop when you see a vette in need?

I tend to be a pretty helpful guy. I stop and and least make sure everything is ok with stranded motorists, if I can help 'em I will.

I'll at least offer to let them use the cell phone if I can't do something to get them running. Most of the time it takes less than 5 min. to stop, see if there is anything I can do, let them make a call, then back on the road.
In the grand scheme of things 5 min. is nothing.

I would stop....probably only to offer a cell phone as I wouldn't have any tools or be able to help if I was driving my vette...but I would do what I could!!

I haven't seen a Corvette on the side of the road that ever needed any help though I would stop if I did see one. I was once stranded and was passed by 13 Corvettes, all looked and stared, none stopped. :rolleyes:
