You might consider extending the original warranty on your car, but those warranties on your television, vacuum cleaner, etc. are not worth it. And the advice about roadside assistance is super excellent. You can get better coverage for less money than from AAA, plus your insurance company will actually help you, unlike AAA, who will usually blow you off.
