I dropped AAA 30 years ago after they left me stranded for over 4 hours and I had to call an independent tow truck to tow me home and send them the bill...
I originally broke down at 7 AM and finally got home after 2 PM... :icon_fU:
I needed a tow when I was bringing home my Duster, over the mountains from Eastern WA. Had it on a flatbed trailer when my Suburban transmission gave up the ghost. That was an interesting tow.
