Default Rant, God Damned AAA

So I sign up for AAA on the internet, big mistake.

Turns out the normal membership only covers like 3 miles now.

So now I am trying to upgrade, but listen to this stupid crap.

1. Can't upgrade on the same day I want to use the service or I get charged $2 per mile anyways.

2. Can't upgrade until I get my membership card because they have no record of me signing up in their systems. (Repeat, do not sign up online)

3. Once I receive the card, which will probably be like Tuesday or Wednesday, then I can upgrade, but then I have to wait a couple days to use it to have my car towed, due to #1 up there

All in all I am guessing another week before I can have my car towed, and after all that, I am tempted to just rent a dolly, tow it myself, and just cancel my AAA membership.

Another week staying at the sisters going absolutely crazy...go figure.

I coulda bought an HMT shirt with that money....pfft.

you could just pay for a tow like normal people do when their car breaks down and they aren't on the triple a ----.

lol. It sounds like you only signed up for this tow? I'm sure most of thier rules are made to not allow that.

I signed up for this tow and to have two other tows per year as well, I am sure I will break again. There rules are the service is available as soon as it processes. My mistake was signing up over the net because here it is three days later and they have no record of it in their systems but somehow im out 64 bucks?

AAA WTF you dont need that, thats what friends are for. Until they pull you out into the middle of the road and the rope breaks and cars are coming out you and you think ur gonna get t-boned on the driver side, just because he wanted to smoke a fatty an hour earlier and didnt judge his acceleration or other cars to well.

37 miles all freeway is a bit much for a rope tow.

88dx: plus membership is good for 3 tows 100 miles.
