I am a member of AMAC and have used their discounts often.  In August 2024,
my good friend Kaare (pronounced "core" in English) visited me from Denmark. 
I was able to rent a nice Chevy Malibu via a free upgrade for a week for
only $300.  Kaare paid for the car rental.  It's a much better deal for him
to travel to the US than in Europe as his money goes much farther here.

In my case, it's "I'm not broken, just badly bent."

While I am 52, a few places will give me the senior diascount now though
it's much more common for me to get a military discount since I often wear a
hat that says "US ARMY VETERAN" on it or one of my many hats that have the
crossed cannon symbols of the US Army Field Artillery.  It's nice to be
recognized by fellow redlegs also.


 RH> The best pizza we've had is our home made.

If my hands would let me work dough without pain, I'd make pizza at home
also.  My favorite pizza is light sauce, cheese, mushrooms, and black
olives.  Occasionally I'll toss on some Italian sausage.  I love pepperoni
but it severely aggravates my GERD.

 RH> Are you looking for any particular make/model of car?

One that is approved by Pride Mobility, my scooter's manufacturer, to tow
the scooter.  I can thankfully call the main Pride dealer in town and they
can look up the vehicle to tell me if it's approved or not.  I would prefer
a V6-powered 4 door SUV as I'd like to be able to carry passengers (namely
my parents) and be able to handle the 600+ pounds the scooter and its lift
present.

However, at this point in time, I am desperate enough to take anything
that runs and drives well and that I can fit comfortably into.

I have had ALDI's Italian meatballs and they're pretty good for what they
are.
