I have the AARP Motor Club deal but want to get something else for the non
Vairs, I was thinking AAA. Is AAA a good way to go ?

 The Vair is covered by Haggerty and I know I get a flatbed and what it will
cost if anything.

Last May, even one of my vairs ended up being flatbedded home.
Broke a belt, and didn't have any tools.........and I usually take a small
tool box car to car depending on which one I have.
Many of my collector cars over the years have.
T-bird with a bad fuel pump
Starter on a Dodge
corvair with blown oil pressure switch

My wife is a rural route mail carrier, more than once she has been pulled
out of a snowbank after getting sucked in.

I hear all the time of people paying through the nose for a tow.
That's why AAA is a great insurance policy.
Even paid the extra for my kids while they were still under my roof.
That way I didn't have to drop everything and come to the rescue.
