AAA? Will Ferrell Found Santa Rosa Residents Just As Helpful

SANTA ROSA - Will Ferrell thinks folks in this part of northern California are pretty cool.

Turns out, a report says Ferrell, the Hollywood film megastar, had a flat tire while driving through Santa Rosa recently, and had to pull over to the side of the road shortly after he left the city limits.

“Well, we had a flat tire just as we were about to leave the city limits of Santa Rosa and two, maybe three cars pulled over within five minutes to help us with it,” Ferrell said in an interview reported by the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

“And no, they had no idea who I was before they pulled over," reported the Democrat. "They were very helpful and very friendly. I gotta say, I was really impressed with the people of Santa Rosa! That would’ve never happened in L.A.!”

Now, to be clear, the report quoted comes from the Clancy Report, a fantasy news and satire site, so there may be more Elf than truth in this case.
