[V8] Moving my car?

[Ed Kellock]

I had been with AAA for years, since I was 16, so over 30 years, just, and I
rarely needed it.  Nevertheless I maintained it for piece of mind as much as
anything else.  As long as you pay and don't use it, life is wonderful.  The
last time I really needed it, they left me high and dry.  Add the membership
sleaziness on to that, and sayonara sucka.  I'll figure something else out.
There are a lot of options these days.  Maybe none better or less expensive,
but I won't continue supporting an organization that operates like AAA.
Hey, we even have Mapquest and Google Maps now, even Rand McNally has a
pc-based and/or online product now.

I let my membership lapse for 3 months once, when I renewed the "yearly"
membership, it was only for 9 months!  The only way to renew "gold" was to
be charged for the 3 months I wasn't a member, otherwise I'd have to be a
"basic" member for X number of years before they'd let me be a gold member
again.  I thought it was a pretty sleazy move, almost as sleazy as using
membership fees to supply free radar guns to revenue officers, but not
quite.
MAC:  Having a fleet of 4 type 44's guaranteed I'd more than make up those 3
months on tows.  ;-)
