I’m gonna tell this story here, because it fits.  My ex-boss, who used to be President of the company I work at, had a cheap dad. I mean we all did, but this man took cheapness to whole new levels.  When my buddy was a kid, their family ride was a Ford utility van. His dad bought used wooden church pews from a church flea market, and bolted down three row wooden bench seating for the family.  This was before seat belt laws. I didn’t ask if you were supposed to genuflect before a road trip but should have. So his old man had been working on the brakes one weekend.  Fast forward a couple days, they are rolling down the street one day, and come to a four way stop.  They stop.  A wheel with a tire on it goes rolling through the intersection.  My friend was like “dad, there’s a tire rolling down the street!”  His old man calmly says “ that’s ours son, go catch it before it reaches the interstate!”
