My co-worker has a 1914, he was talking about what a pain it is to drive. Three pedals; high/low, reverse and a brake. The throttle and timing advance are a levers on the column.

Actually it takes a little more skill to run the older cars and make them run well , which can be a pain . It's always a balance between spark and throttle. Later models got an optional gas pedal. Thats what draws me to the older cars- the challenge I love my Vette don't get me wrong but its fairly civilised in the jump in and drive down the road department OH and any color you wanted on a T as long as it was black ! |

When I was young I always preferred the Model T's. As I got older I started leaning more to the Model A's. The older I get the less I have to do to drive the better I like it. So I guess it would be resto-rods for me.
