I just joined AAA. I kept hearing about some sort of "premium-level" membership that provided additional towing distance, but I found no such option online (for my region, at least). Maybe they've found that feature unprofitable and discontinued it.
My plan to get towed to a frame shop and have the car evaluated will not work. They won't tow unregistered vehicles. I'll have to insure and register the car before I can even learn if it's worth modifying. Crap.
