<VV> towing fees

[airvair at earthlink.net]

I've had Triple-A coverage since '69, and have no complaints. Easy 800
number will get you service usually within 1/2 hour anywhere. Have AAA-Gold
card with unlimited milage, and it's the cheapest roadside insurance you
can get. I recommend them highly.

Once, the trans in my Impala failed (after a mere 229,000 miles) and they
hauled it and me 79 miles home, no problem, and no cost either.

BTW, last time I used it was just before s**w (that four-letter word) flew,
and I bagged an 8-point buck, with my only transportation car. They hauled
my car (and me) home, again free.
