-Oh, hell no.-

If your engine timing belt snaps on a highway when everyone is around, could you pull off safely to the side?

It was a good day to sit on your car and wait for a tow; warm even before 9:00 AM, and almost uncomfortable as midday approached. Warm enough to read and not think about how much of your next paycheck is going to a mechanic. Warm enough to take off your professional garb and look downright regular in a regular guy T-shirt when the tow arrives. Regular enough to talk football and cars with regular guys who know more about both. Regular enough to be downright warm in the garage, and receive conscientous automotive care from regular, warm people.

Yes, you could coast safely to the side. And you could keep warm, and cool when you get there.
