Question No roadside Assistance

I was very surprised to find that my 2008 Solara convertible did not automatically come with roadside assistance (Unless I bought the expensive maintenance package). Do all Toyota's not come with roadside assistance? I know my old Lexus did. My wife's Impala does. It even had Onstar for a year! My old Ford 500 did and every car I have owned in recent years has. To be fair I don't remember ever having to use roadside assistance but it was convenient knowing that if I ventured away from home I would have help if I needed it

You should have bought another car. I have AAA coverage if I never need it.

AAA has been around for decades. I'd still have it even if my car DID have Onstar or whatever (very few companies offer that and it's expensive), because the friend you're riding with may break down as well, and you're covered.
