You are driving past a bus stop during a snow storm, and you notice your best friend standing there (who, incidentally, had just saved your life last week). When you stop, you find out there is also a woman waiting to get to the hospital, in need. There is also a very attractive person who could turn out to be the love of your life. Since your car only seats two people, who do you give a ride to, knowing you cannot fit any more than two people in your car (not able to put anyone in the trunk or riding on top)?
