Re: because of the model A
Wingski,
I understand your frustration. Sometimes it's also due to lack of exercise. Working around the yard and the cars can lead to a lot of aches and pains in our muscles and joints.
I was babysitting my grandchildren at my daughter's house recently. Her husband, who is a workout fanatic, left one of those balls you squeeze to build up your grip on the couch. I started squeezing it while I was watching TV. When I woke up the next morning I couldn't move my hand without pain shooting up my wrist. I also lost strength in my hand. I'm lucky I only have osteoarthritis because it went away in a couple of days.
My wife has rheumatoid arthritis. She could drive our Roadster, shift and use the clutch. In the last two years she doesn't have the strength in her joints to turn the steering wheel or use the clutch.
We need to enjoy our cars while we can. I'm glad we bought our car four years ago so she could enjoy driving it for a couple of years before her arthritis got worse.
