Or...  Unless you get towed at least once, you've lost money.  I gave up on
this when it was just $35.  I had no idea it was so expensive now.  This is 
just a variant on the extended warranty scam, as far as I'm concerned.  If
you can afford an expense, insuring yourself against it doesn't make sense.
