I left my lights on and the car battery is dead again for the second time in six months. Unless I get lucky and catch my neighbor early in the morning or the battery rebounds a little (radio, interior lights work, etc.), I'm going to have to call a local garage for a boost. I sure do miss my standard in times like these. Anyhow I was thinking of joining triple AAA so I would be covered if this happens again. What are people's experiences with the service? Is it worth paying for the premium service? It seems like the only real benefit is 100 mile towing. Although that would bring great peace of mine, the only few times I needed a tow in my 23 years of driving, it was always locally.
On a side note, anybody have those portable battery pack with the jumper cables attached. How expensive are those and how often do you need to charge them up? We have one at work and it performed very well. I was thinking if not horrible expensive, it might be worth it to carry one in the trunk providing you can go at least a couple of months inbetween charging it.
