Re: AAA for breakdowns in antique?
Ive had AAA since 1976. Used the road service once.
I was hauling a 39 sedan delivery on a trailer behind my F1, in the rain, in town, going , slooooow, lights on.
When I got to the garage to dump off the car I was towing I shut the truck off when I went to open the door.
I got back in the truck and found the battery too low to start it.
I called AAA.
I young lady showed up in just a few minutes with a van loaded with AAA batteries and gave me a jump start.
I had pretty old battery and I didnt need more trouble that day so I decided to just buy a new AAA battery.
She looked at the little 12 volt battery size and informed me that if I went to a group 24 it would cost a lot less, Id have more power and it would still fit in the carrier.
Good deal, I went for it.
But.... the battery crapped out in a year and I noticed where I worked we were taking in a lot of new looking AAA batteries. I would not buy another.
I even have my house insured with AAA. Always do all my vehicle registration renewal and transfers with them too. Nice people here in Hayward and Walnut Creek ar AAA.
