Two words, "Domestic harmony." I find it handy but if the wife needs a
car towed, jumped or unlocked she has one number to call and they come.
The towing is 100 free miles. What does that cost if you had to pay.
In any case it keeps here happy so if I pay a little bit more so be it.
The peace of mind for her is worth the price.
