Cash, I've found the plus membership to be worth the money because of the extended towing -- I've been able to insist they take the car to my mechanic.
Considering I drive over 150 miles (with the kids) at least once a month to visit family in Indiana, this is probably the level I should get.
I second that. It was thanks to the AAA+ that we were able to have our car towed home from Maine without laying out any money, after our accident last year (and the two truck driver took us home, too).
We totally found that out! Good advice. I highly recommend a dry-run when you get a new vehicle. This was all new stuff and I had to figure it out by reading the manual. Which was fine and I didn't have any trouble but if it had been at night, or in the middle of nowhere (like when I drive the kids to Indiana) or snowing, it would have sucked more.
My dad made me learn how to change a tire, jump start a battery, and check the oil, add oil, and check and add anti-freeze/coolant, before he'd let me get my license (which I think might have been 22 years ago, yesterday).
Every time I watch Iron Chef, Bobby Flay loses.
That explains why my brother is so goddamn happy all the time.
Personal feud or just because Flay isn't a very good chef?
Heh. My bro is a chef, and I think he just thinks that Flay isn't a good chef. And is kind of an asshole. As far as I know, they've never met.
One of my bro's top Life Goals is to kick Bobby Flay's ass.
I kind of like Bobby Flay.
Okay, that's really weird. I was just off adding Geico's emergency thingymawhatzis to my coverage so I can drop AAA.
Geico does change flats, or will pay for someone to change it, or something. But the last time I actually needed a tow was years ago, and AAA was incredibly annoying to deal with then. So if I'm going to pay for services that I hardly ever use, and that aren't that great when I do use them, I'd figured I should at least pay less for them.
But I can go weeks without ranging more than 10 miles from my house, so my needs are not the norm. I am goinna order a bunch of maps before the AAA account expires, though. Whee, maps!
Bobby Flay is a lot of an asshole, but I can't help liking him. (The fact that he is smoking hot in person...has nothing to do with this. Nope, nothing at all.)
He doesn't lose on Iron Chef often, is the weird thing -- he's very good at twisting comfort foods just enough to where people are impressed with the fanciness but still happy to be eating basically a grilled cheese sandwich (or whatever). When he did 5 brunch dishes for the chicken egg battle, I was drooling.
The fact that he is smoking hot in person...has nothing to do with this.
I said this to a friend of mine who was shocked I felt that way. "He's a leprechaun!" she said. I think he's adorable.

Are things going to pop out at us?
The first time I saw a Bobby Flay show, he was doing a Rhode Island clambake. I love him purely for introducing me to Rhode Island Clam Chowder and how much fun he was having on the beach. Mmmmmm, clams.
Are things going to pop out at us?
Um... no. But theoretical violence is done to elephants.
