Unhappy The END of an ERA...a RAODSIDE ASISTANCE BUDDY is **NO MORE**!

I'm rather sure that MANY of you DO recall THIS little roadside convenience! (Link Courtesy USA Today)

Now that a NEWER (And in *SOME* cases "superior") technology has come to the forefront....

THIS shall VERY SOON go the way of the Model-T Ford, the 8-Track Tape Cartridge, and the Independent Mom & Pop Corner Grocery/Convenience Store..
