How much does it run a month/year?  I've got "KIA Roadside Assistance", but
its a crock of shit - because they pay tow trucks, etc, so *little*, many
towing companies wont deal with them at all.  Last time I had a problem (
blowout, and the spare was flat), I ended up just calling my *own* wrecker and
having the guy tow it to the house (less than a mile away).  I then took the
flat tire down to the tire shop the next morning in Amy's car, had them 
replace it, took it home, put it back on the truck, then drove the truck 
down to get three more new tires.  Cost me around $45 for the tow, plus I
found out the guy lived down the street from me. 8-)
