when I owned beaters, which I guess was most of my adult life, I expected to break down and get towed fairly regularly, so AAA made sense. Upgrading to pro to get the 100 miles was also well worth it. My memory is that AAA only pays for 3 tows or services per year, so keep that in mind if you have a real beater.
Now that we have a new and newish car, we cancelled AAA. Our state farm car insurance offers road service for a few bucks added every 6 months, so way cheaper than AAA. However, if I understand this correctly, I am supposed to call my agent on his cell phone and he will help us arrange something (so not exactly the same sort of 1-800 response we would get from AAA).
