There can be any number of tow-related "rabbit holes" that start out as just some minor turd of inconvenience but when not properly addressed due to out-of-control circumstances or whatever becomes this big rolling ball of shit that just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I have AAA anyway, and there's no reason why I should be paying for any tows, but it still happens on occasion.
Both my Chargers had busted fuel gauges. I tried keeping track using the trip meter but would occasionally run out only God knows where. I had AAA bringing me free gas four times a year – the maximum allotment.
My junker has fuel gauges that work when they want to. I vaguely keep track about 385 miles to a tank and once it shows less than 1/4 tank I just fill her. I changed the sender on the driver's side about 3 years ago and now the passenger's side is out. *sigh* It's kinda creepy to watch the estimated mileage thing on the dash count up instead of down.
