Damn law of gravity! That’s a hard one to beat.

For some reason my old man told me all these stories about model Ts, which I have never owned or driven. But the driving backwards uphill was one, especially in winter. In fact sometimes on really cold days you had to jack up the back wheel to get enough gas to flow into the engine to start it. He also told me how to properly crank it without having the crank break your thumb or your wrist, which is a thing that happened to people if they held it wrong. What I will do with this info I will never know but decades later I still have it.
