    People with AAA. Explain to me your track towing experiences. My insurance will only tow a car up to $150 and to the nearest service center. I want my E30 from HPR to my house to be covered. Is that AAA gold, or just basic service? Any other information would be awesome.

          AAA Basic only covers 4 miles, which is nice since it's 3.9 miles from the CU engineering center to my house. Damned E30 fuel pump.

          AAA Plus covers up to 100 miles, possibly more, which is nice since it's 85miles to HPR from my house. Damned oil venting problem.

          Both times they delivered it to where I asked (home), and not to the nearest service station. They'll also bring a flatbed if you ask, so make sure you do.

            Well that's pretty sweet. 100 miles is just within range from my house! It is pretty stupid that Farmers says "$125 to the nearest service center". So that really tells me nothing because I have no idea how much each towing company charges, and the nearest service center will probably be a brakes plus. It looks like AAA plus is $125, which isn't too bad for cheapo 'track insurance'.

              Last night I was taking the dogs out before bed and saw a really clean looking black 2 door with a 'e30' badge on the back and some stupid looking wheels. It was parked just a few houses down from Horizon Middle School. Anyone's?
              Funny I saw that same car driving down I-25 near Broadway last week. Guy must be making the rounds!

                I've seen that black E30 too... weird.

                AAA Plus is a god-send. It's good for the towing, running out of fuel (at the track, where you may not want to pay $9/gallon to get back to Byers), jump starts, etc. All for $125/year.

                  I use AAA every time I go rally racing. it is 99 miles away from my house in Loveland. From talking to the drivers, they tow cars from HPR all the time.

                            This one's for Sam... Speed as been increased dramatically. The washboard was terrible in spots, so I kept it very slow in real time.

                              Well, E30 made it out mostly unscathed. There are, like, two small, small dents on the roof but I have no idea if they were there before or after the storm.
