Went to my local AAA and got a tripwhatever. These are different than if you
call in and it is done in Michigan. On the inside of the back cover is a
picture of an open car on an open road. Closer examination shows it is an
Austin Healey!

I wonder where they get the idea for using these cars. At one time the State
of Illinois *Rules of the Road* had and MGB on the cover.

BTW, beware of AAA towing for your car. I had to have a tow and requested a
flat bed trailer. In spite of the fact that I asked for a specific company
that I knew would have the knowledge to make a wooden ramp to get the car on
the flatbed without destroying the undercarage, , they sent some character,
not doubt hard working, but who looked like he hadn't changed his work
clothes in months, and  who was just going to pull the car onto the flatbed,
no doubt ripping out the bottom as he did. (What do you mean I damaged your
car. That was the way it was when I found it!) When I called to complain
they finally send the company I requested, but the driver said that they
tried to get the price down because they wern't the closest towing company.
Goodby AAA, hello Hagerty.
