Tina drives her roadster ALL THE TIME now, whereas, she was kindof afraid to before.
I totally get it. I had to put two electric starters on my cars just so Missie can drive by herself. Definitely think Miss T needs to be driving a T too!!

Very well done, Brent!!

Tina HAS driven a Model T. In fact, she took the class at the California Auto Museum and drove theirs too. She said she hated it. She loves driving her Model A roadster though, so I encourage her to do it.

Well if she doesn't like driving one, then I totally understand. Nothing wrong with loving to drive a 'modern car'! Ironically, I let Colin's wife drive my 1909 around Greenfield Village and she did remarkably well driving and working the Model-T pedals, ...so I guess he should have said driving a stick while double-clutching, and driving a T using pedals for shifting.
