Meanwhile, it is the big 'ol pickup truck with some good 'ol boy with an American Flag or military bumper sticker of some sort that waves you in, with a pleasant smile on his face.
When I lived in the Bay Area, I was one of those guys who would stop and change ladies flat tires or use my pickup to push stalled cars out of the traffic lanes. Yes, I had a military bumper stickers and the American Flag decal on my windows.
Glad that those Kalifornia days are behind me now.
