Is anyone here a member of AAA? Now that my vehicular resource is gone, I'm wanting someone I can call if weirdness happens when I'm driving home. Is it worth the money?
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Our wings are not tired.
I've had AAA since I was in college, A Very Long Time. I haven't used it often recently but I am way ahead of the game. I recommend it for sure.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm a member of AAA, and it's definitely useful. I'm not sure how much it costs, since I'm on my parents' account, but I've used it a couple times. Having the card also makes you eligible for discounts on some other stuff.

The $57 membership has towing for 5 miles, but I work 20 miles from home. Next step is $91. Maybe AARP has discounts, I'm a member of that (the threshold is 50, and they managed Hubby's medicaid)

I feel like for me the most useful service AAA provides (roadside assistance service) my insurance also provides and, since I'm already paying for the insurance, I haven't thought it was necessary to pay extra to AAA. I have Geico, btw, and I've used their roadside assistance services several times and it's always been fine.

Ah, I have Geico as well!

Hmm, Geico says I qualify for a discount if I complete an online defensive driver's course. Cool.
Edit: And I do already have that coverage!

For me, the important distance isn't how far from home, but how far from somewhere that can fix the car. Getting a broken car home isn't going to help me much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Someone on the street earlier gave me a free pack of gum. I was a little suspicious just now going to chew some, because she didn't have a branded shirt or anything -- but then I noticed the church ad sticker on the pack. Phew. I knew someone was trying to sell me something!

I will second that Geico's roadside service is excellent.
