[V8] Moving my car?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Good question.  AAA saved my butt when one of the Urq's blew a turbo a few
years back at Steamboat Springs.  Had it flat-bedded down to Boulder iirc to
be worked-on.  That was much further than 100 miles (180), but was fully
covered because it was the closest repair facility. Almost 4hrs, too.  Well
worth it!
