Going 40mph in 2017 Friend:You are slow Going 40mph in 1920's Friend:You're gonna kill us

[@cameronjournal]

When steam trains came out, they went 20 mph and that was considered "fantastic" by newspapers in the 1820s.

[@GoldenGrenadier]

It was probably very dangerous to go 40mph back then due to the roads. Also the primitive suspension system and open cab design probably scared the shit out of people.

[@jonnypilotfish]

@@GoldenGrenadier I think you've got it. 35 mph on a shitty dirt road is moving pretty good on a modern dirtbike.

Grand father, born 1914 (died 1997), would legitimately blame the loud music at the parties he went to in his youth for his hearing loss and not the entire lifetime of running tractors, working on heavy equipment (owned a Kenworth dealership until 1984), and hunting with no hearing protection. Grandpa logic isn't for everyone.

[@paulrippcord506]

That got there liberal commie Roosevelt in office, with his anti-trust act and his national parks, and stick swinging.

[@mrmaniac3]

But swing became popular in 1935...

[@seththomas9105]

Haven't been in a T since about 1983 but remember good times riding in our neighbor ladies (born 1900) 1927 four door. Yes she and her late husband were the original and ONLY owners until her death in 1986. Great memories.

[@catgirl_eva]

Honestly, having the privilege of simply riding in a Model T would be enough for me.

[@brownsfan6447]

Jonathan Domenech Henry Ford Museum offers this experience.

[@OgYokYok]

Come visit The Henry Ford/Greenfield Village. They offer rides on real Model Ts. Gilmore Car Museum also offers a Model T lesson for about $105

[@Dolby109]

Wow...one of the best RCR commentary in a long time! Well done. I got the chance to drive a Model T about a year ago, and it was definitely....different. A truly memorable experience.

[@bluengold3443]

Does it come with a bumper to bumper warranty?

[@francismartinez6049]

blue n gold 34 yes sir, it has the extended factory ford warranty.

[@NafanyaZX]

blue n gold 34 But of course it does! And then you notice there are no bumpers on this thing.

Hmm, i wonder what are the weird quirks of the model t????

[@lupusalbus3795]

The model T.

[@aaz1992]

lol wow. My house is the same age as this Model T. I should be feeling lucky being able to park a 2017 Accord on the same property

[@FestusBro]

They made things to last back in the day. My 1920 house has a Model T sized garage with accordian fold doors. A VW bug or a Kia Soul would fit in there no issues.

This thing is so cool! I have a ton of respect for the care put into this thing.

[@roncheeseman3687]

Again you're spot on. All I could think while you were learning how to get this thing moving was "this is just like a tractor".

[@mcearl8073]

that's pretty awesome, I'm glad to see he's a young guy, someone's gotta keep this stuff going for future generations to see.

[@Chiaroscuro1991]

Interesting to hear your take on a model T. I also drive one (1923 runabout) nearly every day and in city traffic clocking around 100 miles a week. It starts easily and never disappoints, the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. The one thing people usually get out of riding with me is the feeling of speed. Forty miles an hour in an open air model T is a white knuckled experience for most ... more like eighty mph in a modern car. The engine vibration is something that feels more like potential power and yes, the riders are the only shock absorbers.

[@canoshizrocks]

Last time I was this early, the Model T was new.

I loved this episode, never saw a model T in real, here in Europe. thanks, great experience.

[@atakanpolat5127]

LS swap it

[@lilsammywasapunkrock]

Atakan Polat my boss had a 400hp 2.3 turbo swapped into one with a more modern 5 speed. it did surprisingly well. its weird how you sit more on the car then in it... one ride along was all I needed to realize i would never own one though.

[@manfromnantucket9544]

It could be a Saw deathtrap

[@SWRadioConcepts]

+Doge : It would rip itself apart. The frame is wood.

[@mithikx]

Wooden wheel spokes too, if the drive shaft and axles hold up (which I doubt) the tires and wheels would damn near explode from that torque. By the time you're done fitting the T with the parts to handle an LS engine you'd basically have a T-bucket hot rod.

[@lilsammywasapunkrock]

you guys do realise people build these and drive then crossed country at 75mph right? there was a guy that drove one half way acrossed the country to do a jay lenos garage.

[@AJKecsk]

"After all, men aren't possessive of women. Men are possessive of experiences. Guys want to be the only person in their circle to have the experience they had - otherwise, you can't really brag about that experience anymore. You're suddenly festering with jealousy and resentment because an experience you thought was unique to you has already been enjoyed by someone else." Spot on. Gems of wisdom from Mr. Regular.

[@simpsonfan13]

Theres a CTS when they first take off.

[@alexanderkalife1187]

This model t review and driving tutorial is by far my favorite video yet - and I own a Miata - that got me watching a while back. I'm poor as rocks but I was lucky enough to see the London to Brighton rally take off last year (brass cars) and this is just another life goal - as each year a model t gets closer to being able to be entered. I like to dream.

[@mollymcallister1671]

And think, Henry Ford considered this the ultimate development of the automobile that could not be topped.

[@schon2395]

And think, Henry Ford said that in 1908...

[@seed_drill7135]

And refused to fundamentally change the car until 1928, after Chevrolet started to eat Ford's lunch and the Board forced him to. No one else was using a planetary transmission by that time.

[@brianjuffs4662]

Funny that dodge bros basically built these for Ford.

[@ryankennedy4515]

starting the model T is like starting a prop aircraft

[@ryankennedy4515]

Doge Maverick you are probably right. Its funny to see somebody setting the mixture and the throttle setting in a car lol

[@DarrenPersad]

As far as I'm aware, the Tri-Motor came slightly after the initial development and debut of the T, because I think it was Ford's son and another significant member of the corporation that convinced Henry to undertake the design and production of planes later on.

[@rolfen]

Not the same he did not yell "clear prop!"

[@saiyajinelitehoss]

Wow, this was an awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Ans downtown Pittsburgh?? That's impressive! Pgh is my hometown too. I never seen him on the road but if I ever do now, I'll be twice as impressed!

[@two-face1041]

Peter Slovák pretty sure Ford owns that one

[@chada75]

Peter Slovák Yes.

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

It doesn't have a mile counter. It doesn't need one.

[@Monius13]

I'd never own one. Probably never learn to drive one either. But I can respect one. It's amazing how far vehicles have come since then. And I respect people like Justin who appreciate it. It reminds me of my love for Miatas. In my younger days I swore I'd never own one. I talked so much trash on Miatas and the people that drove them. Then I found one on a lot. 10 years old and perfectly maintained. The moment I sat in that car, I had the feeling of fulfillment. Bought it immediately. No matter how much my friends made fun of me or how much trash they talked, I loved it. And in this bro car culture you talk about, I love your take on it. Never let people tell you what to like. Never listen to other people about what cars are the "best." You'll probably miss out on something you actually may find out that you enjoy driving. It's the little things. Sorry so long. And thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it.

[@mistaecco]

Awesome stuff! Been waiting for this ever since the resturant encounter. Again, was fun meeting all of you! Also pretty sure I saw Ben's AE82 in the parking garage on 3rd a few weeks ago. I'm starting to feel like a stalker.

I can't imagine how difficult this must have been to learn to drive back in a time where many people still rode horses. Also - I'm sure Scott Joplin would appreciate the Roman's outro.

not a car because _horseless carriage_

[@Cenobyte40k]

It operates like an old school tractor. You have a throttle that you bring up or down with a lever that stays fixed. Then you have a clutch and brake to manage how you drive around. Hydrostatic transmissions are the better way to go though and most modern tractors use that. Then you thottle just manages the hydrolic pump and your have an accelerator peddle that you use to send power to the hydraulic drive. Usually a single large one in the back operating the two back wheels and putting down most of the force and two smaller ones operating the two front wheel independently.

[@GeronKizan]

This is the car that the kids who read Archie comics drive.

Laurel and Hardy also drove a Model T and so did Buster Keaton. Hollywood loved to use this car, because it was such an ordinary vehicle that most viewers could easily identify themselves with the protagonists, which were generally much more proletarian than modern Hollywood protagonists.

That was a great analogy to make sense out of the position and function of the controls... a garden tractor. It says something about how cars have advanced in technology... also not very flattering things about garden tractors.
