- Cross Country Motor Club (800-225-1575) handles *all* vehicles you own,
- cars, RV's, mc's, etc. They also offer all the usual AAA stuff like
- map service and trip routing, etc. In fact their maps are much higher
- quality than AAA's. They have a different arrangement with towing services -
- they contract with many more service stations and don't deal with the
- "certification" stuff that AAA does, so you will likely get a truck much
- faster than with AAA. I don't remember AAA's policy, but CC covers the
- first $50 of a tow when you want it towed somewhere other than the service
- station. (Towed the wife's ride from the person she bought it from to my
- house - no extra charge.) Also, unlike AAA, your spouse gets the same
- coverage for no extra charge.

- If you buy a new BMW, you get three years membership for free. Now is
- that functionality or character.......8-)
