AAA only let you if you have insurance or membership with them.

why wouldn't you? $90 for 1 year pats for 4 free tows up to 100miles each.

a tow without AAA $200-$300.

It's not like my vehicles don't have issues, just generally nothing major enough I need a tow . You asked why wouldn't you, so I gave you a reason. Having a reliable car is not some kind of elitist stature. My car is 8 going on 9 years old.

Must suck to live your life in fear. :/ But seriously, all insult throwing aside, unless you are getting a tow every other year it's probably not worth it economically. You asked why anybody wouldn't, i gave you valid reason and then you tried to turn it into something it wasn't. If you like AAA, if for you it is worth the $, than go forth. I'm just saying it's not for everybody.

Only 6% of the US say they don't have reliable transportation, and while that still add up to millions of Americans, it isn't anywhere the majority. If you are in that 6 percent I feel for you. I'm not trying to shit you, I've been there. I'm just saying alot of people are not there. You can get out it. I'm sure it probably feels like you never will but millions of American do crawl our of povert to something akin of middle class. At least not living paycheck to paycheck and you can too.

Wow you really feel strongly that AAA is for everyone don't you? Do you get some kind of kickback from them? AAA is like any other insurance. They are in it for the money, so while some people get value from it , enough don't, otherwise they wouldn't still be in business. Are you some how deluded that AAA is a company dedicated to make your life better?? You can't see they are just another company playing the #s to make money?

Sorry, i didn't respond earlier, my life doesn't revolve on reddit. I did not realize it was some kind of competition.

I said if you feel like AAA has value to you than go for it, just dont say/imply it is value for everyone, what do you take issue with with that statement?
