exceptions, are radically modified in their drivetrain, suspension and wheels assemblies. This is so they can do the heavy jobs of consumer rescue. They try to do these tasks without getting stuck themselves. And for most videos we’ve watched… they’ve been quite successful! Occasionally to add interest to the videos, some of the crew goes off-road rock climbing with their equipment.

Myself having worked in smaller, but similar endeavors of gas station tow rescue for a few years ago in Minot, ND, brought me to really identify with the sometimes zany methods this tribe uses. They go out as a crew to the rescue jobs, with at least one person doing video recording. The group even includes Ed… who is an elder friend who gives we watchers the daily weather report.

Now, if any of you car nuts get onto YouTube, know that I highly recommend calling up the entertainment found on Matt’s channel. However, be warned! First know that it will take up about three weeks worth of watching to catch up all of the past episodes. Don’t ask my wife how I know!

The reason I bring this video series to your attention, however, is not just for your entertainment value. I think that these people show what can be done by small business people in the auto industry, or are somehow associated with vehicles as hobbyists. You see, within the automotive trade we too often suffer bad press because of a few sharks that bite the ass of any seal they find swimming in need. It is thus refreshing to find auto mechanics and such who will often go an extra distance to help another person.

Stuck Much… (cont’d)
