coming back from the super auto toys meet my car over heated....got stranded there for 45 minutes! 3 highways pulled up and said what i was doing there,i told them and they just left in stead of bringing me water!! saw 2 240's that were at the meet pass by and they didnt even help :naw: ..thanks guys..
and like 7 or 8 cars passed by that were at the meet to and they just stared at me...

finally a evo pulls up with 4 HIGH AS HELL white guys...lol...they didnt even know what city they were in!!! lol....tey gave me 2 liters of water that they had and left because "they were scared that the cops might pull up" lol ...

got home and found out one of my radiator hoses cracked and was leaking the fluids....time to get new silicone white hoses baby! or killer glass hoses!!! baller!!

Sucks, but stuff like this has happened to most 240 owners. I can't count the number of times I've been stuck on the side of the road.

I always try and stop for 240 guys, and I usually have a toolkit (sockets/wrenches/electrical) and jumper cables with me, no matter which of my vehicles I'm in.

At least you got home :)

I concur, but its not a plus package its a Premier package. I have had AAA for years because of this. Plus if you have a premier package they bring you free gas if you run out.
Though you have to be a AAA member for at least one year before they will offer you Premier service. You can get the 100 mile tow (Plus) service in the first year.

The regular service is $68 its $75 for the Pluss service 100 mile tow and $100 for the Premier service 200 mile tow.

They give you 4 service calls per year with each service but with the two uprated ones you get one long distance tow and the Premier has a few more perks like the free gas and a few other things.

I have the AAA Plus, and it's awesome!
Bailed my ass the few times my car broke down during a track day.
If you don't have a tow vehicle & trailer, it really is the next best thing.

Wish AAA had some 500+ mi tow package.
I'd be able to do some track event in another state with ease of mind.

Well technically no. Basically its supposed to be roadside recovery tow. Though if you just tell the dispatcher the street then ya the drivers that show up are usually cool about it. They don't care cause they get paid anyways. I once moved one of my cars from one shop to another and the first time I called I made the mistake of telling the dispatcher it was at a shop. She basically refused me tow service. So I just called back got a different dispatcher and gave the street address. LOL

Though ya its completely worth it with the cost of towing these days? Just one long distance tow even at 100 miles totally is worth it.

Seriously! Just a hookup is $60+, then like $8/mi?!? I have the AAA Premier package with the g/f (she pays for it), it's great. I've picked up tons of shells/non-running cars with it, I just tell them I bought a new car and need them to pick it up. Like Dave said, just tell them the street addy and the tow drivers are usually cool with whatever, since they bill AAA top dollar.

Bleh. Supercharged V8, $10+ above Mustang GT price, that still runs 14's? No thanks.

Yea, anyone can get one. You can even go on there website to sign up and they will send you the membership card in a little over a week. It really helps cause just 2 days ago I went sliding into a median and busted a rim. I called to use my membership and they sent out a tow truck in 15 min.
