[DeTomaso] Another Hagerty plug

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

That's what i was saying, despite my car's very modified engine, Hagerty
gives me an excellent rate.

and their Roadside plan kicks the living crap out of AAA, AMOCO or anybody
else, plus they followup with questionnaires, they call while you are
waiting and they call the next day to see that everything went OK, AAA acts
like they are doing you a favor and takes their sweet time in dispatching
help.

( No P-Car problems, wife had a flat while traveling in FL last year and the
plan extends to her as well and then like an idiot on New Years eve, I ran
out of gas in the Magnum  because I wasn't thinking about now, I was
thinking about.... well one of the two things I always think about.
