I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

I've pushed way too many cars that weren't mine. Probably like 10 in my lifetime? Few strangers, I like being helpful if I can.
Once was a teenager stuck on a very busy road during rush hour. They were in a small little two-door. So I pulled over to a side street ran out. Told her to throw it in neutral and keep her foot ready on the brake Incase I lose my grip and started pushing.
Everyone else was honking at her up until that point and continued even when I started helping. Eventually two other guys came by to help because I started going up a slope and had to really lean into. Still some old lady was honking at the three of us.
Just funny how people will honk nonstop like that's going to do something, assholes. If you're not physically able to help, don't, but lay off the damn horn.
You are tempted to just go up to them and say "no keep honking, it will probably scare engine to start again"
Same. Most cars I've pushed have been random strangers.
Ive also stopped and helped fix cars on the side of the road. I've got a WRX, and driving to work one day I saw another WRX broken down. Maybe a teenager or early 20s. Only a little younger than me at that point. His radiator hose had been rubbing against a belt after some mod. He said his mechanic couldn't figure it out.
I took him to get a new hose. Showed him how to trim the edge of it to accommodate his mod, taught him to burp it, and sent him on his way.
