I have been a member of AAA since it was actually a club devoted to simply helping motorists. It has morphed into a disgusting parody of its once self. But so has America in general.
Case in point is BWC, which is not an improvement over AAA, but an overly intrusive, overpriced business that hides behind a cloak of environmentalism and peoplefriendlyism, much like the overpriced long distance service from which its management graduated.
I have over the decades heard all the stories about AAA being late with tows, etc. and do not exactly doubt the stories but can say that after living in about 20 states and several foreign countries (AAA has reciprocal agreements with other national auto clubs), I have never had to wait so long for a tow that I started pulling out my hair. Yes, AAA is a bunch of profiteering pigs and the articles in its glossy magazine we are forced to pay for are self serving, often misinformed, garbage.
But when I need maps, or in some regions, travelers checks, I can simply go get them.
And the price of AAA is basically the same as that for BWC.
In comparison, BWC is simply not a good buy.
Unfortunately anyone who drives a vehicle of any kind except maybe a bicycle is a member of the cult of earth destroyers. Any other pose is exactly that. It is hypocrisy of the highest order to pretend otherwise.
