I'm curious. Just out of interest - don't you have anything in the States
equivalent to the UK's AA or RAC? (You pay a fee - anything from about
£40 ($60) per year upwards then whenever you break down anywhere,
someone will come out to fix it. Anytime, 24 hours a day, and
normally they'll arrive within less than an hour. You'll only get charged
for any replacement parts, not for labour. And if they can't fix it at the
roadside, they'll tow you to a garage - though in that case you'll have to
pay the garages charges).

We don't have very many widely available plans that generous. However,
we DO have a number of plans that offer lockout, gas replenishment,
jumpering and towing.

For instance, I think my AAA membership (for my family) is about 50 or
so a year and covers those things.

(...) Right. Plans like Larry describes are common as dirt. (...) AAA+ will tow you up to 100 miles and costs about $90 per year. If you drive very much (I do) then it is well worth it. Even new cars can have problems. Chris (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
