well guys, i had to put the big red dodge to use this evening. was on my way home after dropping a friend off and saw a car that looked to be off the road in the field and as i got closer, i saw it was a little sedan stuck in the snow. i pulled over to see if they needed help and a little girl ran up to my truck and told me they had help on the way. well, being the nice guy that i am and since i only live a few miles away, i came home and got my chain and headed back over. pulled up and the little girl came back up and said someone was coming and i asked how long they would be. she didnt know. so i didnt want to leave that pretty girl and her little sister/or daughter stuck in the snow. just then a big ole furd shows up and they said she had run off the road to miss some deer. i told him i had shackles, a chain and a 20' 20k lb tow strap and i could pull her out. they wanted to go get a big red tractor. i might drive a red truck, but i have the green tractor stickers on the back window 
so i got situated where i was on the shoulder for traction and the chain/strap reached enough to hook it to the shackle/clevis block in my hitch reciever. put ole clifford in go mode and pulled her right up the hill and onto the road. i had to use the other shoulder to get her on the pavement though. so i got a few thank you's and apparently they live on a horse farm and her mom offered me a trail ride sometime. last summer, just down the road from there, my buddy fell asleep one night and ran his new miata off the road into a corn field and got hung up on a concrete pipe. i got the 3am call and had to go pull his *** out too. that was back in my nissan xterra times, but i was able to get him out then too. so i know its a long story, but i feel its a great way to start the new year!
