Re: [Amc-list] Cheap(?) Towing

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Don,

I agree that AAA is a great thing to have but make sure you have current 
plates on the car in your name or they may refuse to tow it.

In case you didn't know, the Ed Anderson Meet is Saturday the 29th (9:00 
AM until 4:00 PM) in Carillon Park (across the river from UD Arena, down 
the street from NCR on Patterson). You can get a flyer for the show at
