Interesting thread... I have had a little experiance which shows a bit peoples attitude. I broke down in a beautiful shiny 1998 740I up in NH while going skiing when the fuel pump died. It was on a secondary road with heavy traffic and no one stopped until a cop went by an hour later. A few years later I broke down in a Subaru Outback when hitting metal road debris in the same area and slicing a tire sidewall. Again it was a secondary road and literally a few cars almost immediately stopped and helped me. One Subaru driver stopped and helped me swap the wheel. In northern New England Subaru drivers are super friendly and if you drive one you are readily accepted because its what alot of them drive. It matches the Yankee values of being practical and modest with your wealth. If you drive a fancy new "city" car like a BMW etc you considered a "flatlander" as they say. They figure you don't need there help. Just my observation.
