My sole experience with AAA’s auto folks was when I was 23\. My car wouldn’t start after a long day at a research job and I called AAA to give me a hand. I waited and waited. Maybe two hours had passed before that rumbling red, blue and white truck came ambling that way. We gave the car a jump but no dice.

Then he realized that the car was simply in neutral, not park, and that I had wasted everyone’s time. As we spoke, there was a baby trapped in the backseat of a burning Dodge Caravan that would not perish because I forgot the basics of automobile existence. Nonetheless, I think back fondly on our time together.

I can now revisit those moments with [*Roadside Assistance Simulator*](http://store.steampowered.com/app/302440/?ref=killscreen.com), another addition to videogame’s march to completely recreate every experience known to man and sell it the adoring public on Steam. Here’s the pitch from Finnish game studio [Fragment Production](http://fragmentproduction.fi/?ref=killscreen.com):

> Whether it’s an empty battery in the freezing cold, a flat tire in the pouring rain or an overheated radiator in the scorching sun – your rescue team helps people in need whatever the time, whatever the weather.

Boom. I am sold. And look at this opening screen:

Unlike those other sim hangers-on, there isn’t an ounce of irony here. You know exactly what you’re getting. Magic hour in the windows, a half-full waste basket, a comfortable office chair, and hours of fielding calls from morons like me.

I may not own a car and will unlikely find myself rescuing others stranded on the wayside, but the world needs a hero.
