LOL osuche. When we called yesterday, they (AAA) decided to put the Chrysler towing under my name since my wife used her name on previous calls ... otherwise, she would have used up her "limit."
Anyway, we'll have three of our four cars back today. Got the Oldsmobile back yesterday and the Chrysler this morning. The Mazda, we'll going to delay putting it back on the street until next month.
(Oh yeah, I still hate cars  )

Funny you should bring it up at this time, I just a similar exp. I was wondering how to post...we have been so poor & deep in debt that we can't afford to commit to a new(er) car loan, but at the same time it seems that the wife's 12 yr old LeBaron breaks down with enough frequency that we've actually built a new one, one piece at a time...in any case, she finally got so fed up with her car's unreliablity that she declared that she would start driving my van to work, & I could take my chances with her old clunker...after 2 days, the van stopped dead on her on her way home, the victim of a broken timing belt...when I picked her up, I informed her that she was a jinx, which amused her not at all...presently I am back driving the van...

Oh (((db)))...and (((Coaster too)))...
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I've got a 1999 Dodge Durango that hasn't given me a lick of a problem to date! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm NOT bragging! I'm scared to death cause the odds say that this miraculous behavior can't possibly go on too much longer...ya know?
so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't let any of your cars talk to my truck!
Have to say there is something to the "you learn something new everyday" saying. I didn't know triple A had a limit! Geezzzzzzzzzz! Haven't had to call them [yet], but my day is coming...I can feel it!

Glad to hear the well didn't come off. Speaking from experience, that is really unpleasant.
Good luck getting them all fixed. Maybe this means you won't have any trouble with any of them for a while now.

I know I grew to hate my car - when my monthly repair bills were consistently getting to be $1,000+, I determined a loan on a new one would be cheaper. Now, the new car - love it.
