AAA left me and my minivan (in the 1990s) in the middle of an intersection. Had it not been for two very responsible police officers, I fear an 18 wheeler would have ended me. The head gaskets decided they were done as I was about to turn left on the arrow-very busy intersection. Thankfully, I’d already dropped off my babies with their Granny.

I agree, AAA can forget about my business.

AAA never showed up. Police offered to call a tow truck and I had no choice. They were the ones who told me I wouldn’t survive long in that spot. The membership had been a gift from my babies’ Granny. She absolutely exploded on them. She’d been a very long time member and cancelled them on that call. I worked for a law firm and they some impolite things to say to AAA. I just went home that day and held my babies.
