"I still get up in the wee hours, sneak downstairs, but on the headphones, crank the Clash, and slam my head against the wall 'til I feel human again."

Doesn't everybody?

To un-hijack this thread, I have to agree with those praising AAA. Their free map service is a God-send when you are heading somewhere new. The discounts at shops, amusement parks and hotels don't hurt, either.

A word of warning, the free towing service of their base plan is only something like 4-5 miles. Sign up for the next level membership to get 50-mile free tows.

The other nice thing about AAA is the benefits are tied to the person, not to the car. I've used it to tow friend's cars to repair shops when they couldn't afford it.
