Had a client who bought a used motor home, supposedly a rebuilt engine. Drove it home from the dealer (20 miles), then embarked on a long-planned vacation the next day, engine seized about 10 miles from home.
He had bought an extended warranty (not cheap), and they tried everything short of armed extortion to wiggle out of it.
"He should have checked the oil before he left on the trip." Really? Do you check your oil every 30 miles? And it wasn't low on oil anyhow.

My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
