I think the regular plan AAA is 3 miles to a place of safety.  Pretty
worthless.  The Plus plan is 100 miles to anywhere I say.  Limit 4 per year.
The plus an extra 25 bucks or so.  Saved my bacon when I shattered a
halfshaft in the Lotus.

The only other call I have completed was a sill mistake some years ago when
I left the Suburban headlights on.  Quick jump, and I was on my way.

Downside is when EVERYBODY in the area calls at the same time.  On a recent
cold snap, my daughter was borrowing the Burb.   Would not start.  The guy
never showed because they were giving priority to folks in dangerous
situations.  I made it to Sears and got a new battery on warranty and put it
in myself.
