I pass by this ancient mailbox every day on my walks. The old rusty box is nailed to an oak that has to be 150 years old. After 6 years of passing it by I decided to open the box to see if anything was inside.
After all, there isn??t even a house nearby to which it could possibly serve anyway. Any home it serviced was long ago torn down I??m sure. I noticed an ancient letter inside as you can see in the picture. I looked at the post mark date and it said July 7, 1903.
Due to age and moisture the addressee on the envelope was not readable, so I opened up the envelope hoping to find some local history and a good story I could share with you.
Here is what the letter inside said. ??We at Carriage Shield hate to be the bearer of bad news Mr. Mallard but the warranty on your buggy has expired. Please take a few minutes to sign up for our 2-horse plan and never worry about those expensive wheel and horseshoe repairs again.?
Our ancestors have no idea how easy their lives were.

Those must be the same people calling me about my car (horse & buggy) warranty, do they ever STOP!

@ozzy84 And you can't leave out the fact some woman is going to give him a NEW JOB. The oil cans are better though.
My Daughter drives a Hyundai; she told me it was making a "funny" noise. She said her ex took a look at it and said: I don't know what that is, but it doesn't sound good...
She said the oil light came on, and she thought that was "funny". She said she took it in to the dealer for an oil change and they didn't say anything, so she didn't think it was a big deal. She said the oil light came on again; her ex checked the oil and it was over 3 quarts low...
She said she called the dealer and the Gal said that was "normal" for a car with over a hundred thousand miles to go through a quart of oil every 1000 miles. She told them she bought the lifetime powertrain warranty, and they told her; for $155 she could bring it in and they would do a diagnostic check...

Pay yourself, what you'd pay for a warranty, you're going to be further ahead, whether or not you need to use it.
Statute of Limitations on mail theft is five years, so... I think you're good.?ÿ
"normal" for a car with over a hundred thousand miles to go through a quart of oil every 1000 miles.
Low at how many miles? Oil dripping? Smoky exhaust?
Quart/1000 used to be the rule of thumb for thoroughly broke in cars. In recent decades I have had cars that needed a quart between changes.
@bill93?ÿ
It was close to the end of the oil change so let's say 4,000 miles.
No oil on the garage floor; I would imagine it was smoking pretty good, but I wasn't there...
I think she said it has over 120,000 miles...
She's about $1,000 upside down in her loan

I must be fortunate that I don't recognize those.
I get car warranty, last chance to lower credit card rates (if only it were the last), are you still having back pain (never went to a doc about my back), and i'm from Medicare Department (with India accent and noisy background) did you get your new medicare card??ÿ
I think it's 5 after theft, not 5 from delivery. Wendell is in trouble. ?????ÿ
