Default 365 Days in an Model A

Check out the blog: http://www.365daysofa.com/

Very interesting read - this guy has taken on the challenge to drive a Model A around for a year with repairs along the way.

He also does some cross America driving in it too and had this to say:

Quote:
As we rode back toward Cobo Hall, it became clear how much smaller the world seems from behind the windshield of the Model A. Klinger's machine turns the kind of trip that wouldn't cause us to bat an eye today into an undertaking of mythic proportions and forces a level of attentiveness that's all but exempt from modern driving. In this car, you pay attention to the road surface, weather and the drivers around you, or you end up on the side of the road – or worse.
