AAA. AAA. AAA. 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Dharvey on  Mon Feb 17 16:34 CST 2003 [RELATED]

"Houston Tow Truck drivers are a pretty sleasy bunch by the way. Started out at $85.00 when he connected. Tried to jack up the price to $125 when he got to the stop. Extra counties in the tow according to him. I explained to him there was a reason it was called the Harris County Tollway and I would be glad to let a Pasadena Cop work this out. Then the price dropped, he grabbed the $70 cash in my hand and hauled butt."


Every 240 should come with a AAA membership (or some other motor club that includes emergency towing). The tow is a built-in risk of ownership when you're driving a 15-20-year-old car. I've driven, oh let's say lots of, miles in six Volvos. Considering the mileage, I still say they're very dependable. Buuuut...there have been those times the thing just croaked on the interstate. AAA sure was good to have--both not to get ripped off, and because they seem to screen out the bozos. No one has ever torn up my car while towing it.

Good luck.
