    Sounds like that's going to cost more than joining AAA.

    With gas prices, that'll go over $100. Gary's house is under 100 miles right? Wish I could help.

    Billy, as others have said, paying a tow truck or renting a truck & dolly + gas is going to run you over $100 and will be throwing money away. AAA on the other hand is not throwing money away, because you will have the benefits of their service for the next year. The Plus membership is $100 the first year and $80 each year after that. In addition to FOUR 100 mile tows a year, you get vehicle locksmith service, free emergency fuel if you run out, and a bunch of other perks. I have had it for the wife and I for as long as I can remember and it has saved us several times over the years. I would hardly call it throwing away money.

    Well you probably are right about it costing less.
    Throwing away money reffernce was that with as many times as I have been back and forth and paid 121 tolls etc etc etc, it's adding up.
    My wife said "how much money did you save buying used?" she's getting on my A** about taking her car and leaving her stranded...lol

    Just sent you PM. But I guess I should post it here too. My insurance company and most others I think will pay for a tow once per year, mine has a limit of $80 I think. I've used it a couple of times. Might be worth checking into.

    My insurance pays for a tow to the nearest garage or "service center", something like that. There's no way they would cover a tow from Weatherford to Plano, any more than they would cover a cross-country tow. Don't know about the AAA deal.

    Gary is supposed to come out and take a look at the car.

    I just noticed (when I went to start the car today to keep the battery up), that the odometer is at 66656......go figure, maybe I should call a priest....LOL

    ....bless my car for it has not run....and forgive it's inability to create inertia, give us this day our daily code.....let it forgive others that pass it freely, as they would expect it not to pass them (splash of seafoam here and there).
