I love it when people just pick you up... it's so much fun!
Had that happen to me in rural Thailand... just walking down the road and this guy and his wife in a pickup stop and wave at me to get in!
and there was the time I got to ride 350km in an ultraluxury RV... now THAT'S hitchhiking... I've almost got the story written up and I'll post it to my feed @traveladdict in a day or two :)
