When I was young, offering me a ride somewhere was no big deal. Now that I live 500 miles away from home, my dad will still ask me from time to time if I need a ride somewhere. When my cat was sick a couple years ago (and when I say sick, I mean she was almost dead), he asked if I wanted him to come pick me up. He drove from Ohio to New York City immediately, picked me up, and drove me back to Ohio. It was 15 hours round trip in the car, and he did it, no questions asked.
