Isn’t it fascinating how we had the first cars 125 years ago?

And how they evolved so much… going 10 km an hour at first, and now up to hundreds of kilometres per hour.
The first car was called a horseless carriage😂

I remember my grampa talking about his model A Ford and how he had to rebuild the engine like every 500 miles or so

but he could use it to power a washing machine and other tools

@Pretzel what year was it? And how fast did it go?

Pretzel · 70-79, M

@Ferise1 oh I'm not sure - not very fast because they were driving on dirt roads that were at one time wagon trails. - 20 or 25 mph probably top speed.

@Pretzel that’s not bad, it’s a level up from the first cars

Pretzel · 70-79, M

@Ferise1 oh yeah. I think they had springs in the seats instead of a a bench
