Get down or Get out?

The pop v. soda v. coke thread got me thinking of other things that differ from region to region.
I have a friend who says get down when she is talking about exiting a vehicle. I've always said get out when referring to exiting a vehicle.
So which is it?

Out of the car, truck or boat. Off a 4 wheeler.

Get out of a cage.
Get off of a bike, ATV, boat, etc.
Get down out of a tractor.

I thought this was going to be about a mall shooting or something
Anyway, tell her you don't get down from a truck. You get down from a goose.
Now that I have contributed zero to the conversation, I'm leaving.

MadMonkey seems to share his "horsefeathers"
Get out of here, I say -- for I want my privacy.
A tip of the hat to you, MadMonkey.

Exiting is correct.

I dismount the motorcycle and crawl out of my Miata with racing seats.
