Er, pardoon my ignorance. But, that *is* why this list exists ... or, is it
for the non-lbc content, e.g. bovinne nutrement? :) Anyhoo, uh, why are
they verboten on auto? And is that refeered to a pull-er that's automatic?
or a pull-ee?

restrict my *only* 4-wheel transport to 100 miles from home/mechanic (I
believe 100 miles is AAA's limit). When most of my driving is rural with
rural idiosyncracies of getting stuck. (AA contracts w 1 tow-truck on this
