| 622185 | 2007-12-19 21:22:00 | I've never and probably never will lock myself out, as I've a habit of taking the keys out of the ignition every time I step outside my car. And for changing flat tires, I found those quick fix seal foaming can thingy they sell at the petrol station works very well, cheap, fast and no more jacking up cars and changing tires anymore, I always carry one can with me. |

| 622188 | 2007-12-20 16:35:00 | Do you know what the reasoning for this might be? Seems strange - discriminatory even . . . Perhaps it's because they think you would know all the 'tricks' that would enable you to rip them off . . . Or perhaps they think that, being an ex-employee, you should be able to fix anything yourself - which you probably can! I think it's just because I won't fall for any stupid excuses from the drivers who damage or destroy things with their ineptitude . They are probably afraid that I know how to level the playing field and they like to reign from a high spot . Having seen most and investigated many of the failures of the drivers accidents and bad services, I guess they know that I can't be fooled and won't just go away and stop complaining . LOL . Actually . . . being an employee taught me very little mechanically . It just showed me the way to shuffle responsibility and papers to confound and discombobulate the general public . In doubt? Follow the paper (money) trail and see who is making all the bucks! |

| 622191 | 2007-12-21 05:39:00 | Stateside, we are all licensed to possess the tools, and I still have mine . Any unlicensed or unbonded person caught with the tools is in a felony bust and will spend a little time in jail and be tagged with the MO for life . As a registered legal car thief, we could naturally go out for ourselves, but the payoff isn't worth it . After all, once you've gotten IN then you have to resolve the steering wheel lock and the ignition interface with the computer . In my better times, I could pop a Chevy or Ford in the time it took me to walk up to the vehicle . Toyotas were even easier for a while . . and a plastic ballpoint pen was the preferred tool . . but not any more . Electronic interlocks and anti-theft devices are the rage . . so if it's just opening a door for a set of locked-in keys . . it's hard enough to do professionally without the added attraction of going illegal . BMWs and MB's were harder . . but a worthy challenge to me . . some I could . . others I could not pop . I think the hardest car I ever tried was a Rolls Royce . I wondered if even having door locks was necessary as there should always be a chauffeur in the seat anyway . . . few cars get stolen when there's a driver in them . Check out the "Bosco's Collapsible Driver" ( . google . com/books?id=T6Tft-LmkosC&pg=PA233&lpg=PA233&dq=bosco's+inflatable+driver&source=web&ots=ir06qkdtC6&sig=c1_3h4GtLg9iQksqtwSuHgEFvqg" target="_blank">books . google . com) from a bygone era . Is NZ AA valid in anyway in USA? . I know in US they have AAA . I have NZ AA and when i called NZ AA befopre leaving for US - they told me that my membership would be honored? Anyone can confirm or confirm what is covered if partially thanks |

I don't dispute that State is cheaper, but if you have been with the AA for 30+ years it's cheaper than State. But the important thing is that you have someone you can call on if you are in the poo. Have been caught on the road down the west side of Lake Taupo. Not too many people travel that road but it did not take the AA too long to find us. Highly recommended. |
