So this is the situation: you leave work in deathly cold weather, and your car will not start. Your car service company (e.g. - AAA), can't get it started either. So you call your wife to see if she can pick you up; and she tells you to call a relative or take a cab. And this is the logic that follows:
She asked me, "... why don't you just call your sister, cousin or just call a taxi?" After spending years defending driving used economic cars to most of my family members this was not an option and a taxi would easily cost me over sixty dollars for the distance I needed to go.
So, what do you do? Answer in the poll over there on the right.
