DSC,
Wow, sounds like AA didn't do well by you then.
Since I moved so far from my work I decided it'd be great to have just in case.
My daughter who has had AAA for years now, recently called to tell me she had a flat tire and had to call AAA. Within a few minutes they were there. BUT.....she called me at work a couple hours later and said, "I have ANOTHER flat tire. Who gets two flat tires in one day?"
Anyway, AAA came out again. I think you get what? 3 calls or so a year? I have never had to use them, but am glad I have them. Maybe it's different for a woman. Men have a knack for fixing, pushing cars, etc. Not me...I'm more "turn the key & go" otherwise don't ask me nutin' about nutin' when it comes to the mechanics of a car
