A member roster, with emergency aid pitstop locations? Sounds like a pretty
cool idea. I'm game for that!

Now, I am not on the I-75 corridor, so I can't be of help on this particular
trip, but:
I don't have anywhere near the tools y'all have, but I have a garage, and I
can certainly recommend repair shops in town - Maybe not the complete help
you were looking for, but better than being stuck alone in a foreign place,
not knowing anyone to turn to.
