Off topic, but many credit cards (Visa Signature, Discover) provide roadside dispatch for a fixed fee of around $60 per incident, which is slightly higher than AAA membership in most areas. Therefore, if you break down less than once a year, AAA membership is likely not worth it.

I can't imagine how you can possibly need 290 miles of towing in a year, but in cases like that, AAA membership is a good investment.
