American Snowmobile Oil
I knew that logo looked familiar (we don't have it in Canada). In 1985, American changed its corporate name to Amoco (from American Oil Company) and kept the red, white and blue Torch logo. In the mid-twentieth century it was ranked the largest oil company in the United States.

Breaker bar
When is a breaker bar not a breaker bar?
When it's from Harbour Freight.
I twisted this one off the first time I tried to use it, did the job with a 40 year old Craftsman 1/2" ratchet and a 4 foot piece of pipe. But really, at $18, what was I expecting?
