Bill and Ivan had auto repair shops in the small town of Palacios. Ivan loved his Chevrolets and didn't like to work on any thing else. One day, Bill got a call from Ivan. Ivan was broke down in Wadsworth, about 20 miles away, and would Bill please come and pull him home. Naturally Bill said he would.
About that time, Bill looked up and here was Russell Yeager driving into his yard in his new Dodge pickup. Bill asked Russell if he would go pull Ivan home as he was broke down in Wadsworth. Russell said he would be happy to.
Ivan was sitting on the side of the road when he saw that Dodge coming down the road and he commenced to kicking the side of his pickup and cussing. Russell tied on a tow rope and he drove 15 miles and hour and honked and waved at everybody he saw.
Ivan couldn't do anything but sit there in his Chevrolet pickup and let a Dodge pull him home.

One day Ivan needed to pull a car into his yard to work on it and Bill volunteered to go get it. Bill backed up close and tied a chain between the bumpers and drove off pulling the car behind him. He didn't have anybody in the other car to steer or brake, just started pulling. Just as he was turning into Ivan's yard the chain came loose. The car drifted over to the left and came to rest beside the fence as Bill was getting out of his pickup.
"Is that about where you wanted it?" he asked Ivan. Ivan just shook his head and told him that would be fine, he would handle it from there. But Ivan never asked Bill to tow another vehicle for him.
