Winabago

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Has anyone heard of this? Is it Fact or urbin lrgend?

A man loved his college football. He went to all of the home games even though it was far away. He drove his Winabego to the games. After a very tiring day, the man started his trip home. On the way, he became very hungry so he put the Winabego on speed control and went into the back to fix a sandwich. The van of course crashed. He sued Winebego because it did not specifically say that you could not leave your seat while the van was on cruise control. He won 780,000 and a new Winnebego to replace his totaled van.

If this is true, I guess he will get an honorable mention. Or is this just an urban legend?

Thanks for contributing, Bryan! This is a well-documented Urban Legend. Snopes.com has a whole page devoted to this legend and variations on it! NOW you know! :-)

I wonder if we can trust the 'auto-pilot', "George" on aircraft, then?
