Years ago I created the Martian Automobile Association (MAA), and tried selling memberships on eBay. I forget if I managed to sell any membership cards, but remember creating at least one (and have a photo of it), so I probably did. That member hasn’t stayed in touch, probably because they never managed to put one of their vehicles on the fourth planet to make use of the piece of mind my MAA provides.

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff 
Now see hear, Saskboy. When planet Earth is killed off, we may have to settle on Mars. We want no dirty fossil fuels burned on Mars. So I hope you have an alternative, for fossil fuel powered vehicles. Or your Automobile Association Company, will go bust.
However, it is truly amazing, Curiosity landed safely on Mars.
