No.  Hitchhiking is far to dangerous to consider except out of desperation.

But I notice that KYGOTC is currently "leet".

In my younger years, I hitch hiked quite a bit. I don't recommend it; especially these days. Don't get me wrong; I've been picked up by some really nice people who were quite decent and a few that scared the crap out of me. I once got the not-so-subtle hand on the leg gesture; after that I always traveled the thumb route with some brass knuckles tucked in my boot.
One older man picked me up once who was really nice; he told the story of Job over the course of about thirty miles. I think he may have been a preacher; he was one of those people that you meet briefly yet remember clearly for years. Sometimes I wonder if he's still living.
My friend, McNeil, was hitch-hiking through kentucky when a van of pseudo-hippies (so much for the peace and love doctrine) picked him up only to take his wallet and throw him out about five miles down the road.

My best advice: don't hitch hike
My second-best advice: if you are gonna hitch-hike, its best if you aren't by yourself.

I've considered hitchhiking, but people drive away from me too fast; I don't know why that is.

Previously, I don't know whether it was that they knew of the dangers of hitchhiking and did not publicize them, or whether they did not know of the dangers, but I grew up in an era, where the dangers of hitchhiking and/or picking up a hitchhiker was clearly publicized. As in these films . . .

For the passenger
"The Anti-Christ"
"Creepshow II"
"Deceived"
"Detour"
"Giant Gila Monster"
"Haunted Mansion"
"Lair of the White Worm"
"Roadgames"

For the driver . . .
"Duets"
"Foul Play"
"Grapes of Wrath"
"Hitchhiker"
"In Cold Blood"
"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"
"The Postman Always Rings Twice"
"Twilight Zone: the Movie"

But sometimes picking up a hitchhiker and/or hitchhiking can be a positive, or at least, a neutral experience, as in these films . . .

"Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"
"American Werewolf in London"
"The Goofy Movie"
"I'll Be Home for Christmas"
"It Happened One Night"
"Saboteur"
"The Straight Story"
"Sullivan's Travels"

Hitchhiking still goes on, but most of it seems to take place in places other than the U.S.

It's all location and image, you need to try freeway on-ramps, , and make sure you wear a white t-shirt so they can see you from a distance. Guaranteed results.  Thumbup Thumbup Thumbup
