I got AAA+ about the same time as my '78B, and have used it for a tow
once - when the drive shaft snapped, about 1/2 mile from the house. Had
her towed across town to the friendly mechanic ( Foreign Car Enterprise
in KC ). Well worth the investment.
Except for that one time, and the occasional dead battery *before* the
DPO's poor engine ground was discovered, I'd have to say I've found her
a lot more reliable than I had thought or heard. About the only days I
don't drive the B to work is when it takes a 4-wheel drive to make it
out the 800' driveway.
I still like the AAA+ and the cell phone, but I don't leave home
without them - in any car...
