Good question, Skarpi. I am sorry to hear about your car and hope that it is running better for you, now.

I think one of the saddest things is that people just do not trust one another much these days. Here, in Wyoming, people seem to be a little bit better about stopping to help. We like to joke that it is because there are so few of us and SO many empty miles of roads. It is still considered a common courtesy to help a stranded motorist out. If you don't, they may not see anyone else for hours and in the winter that can be deadly.

Personally, I am glad I have a cell phone; that's the only reason I have it or use for, too. I feel safer calling someone I know for help than I do accepting help from a stranger, especially when I am alone.

Now, let's see if I can get this right: Góoa nott og takk fyrir! (Still missing a couple of diacritical marks!)
