And nobody has time these days to hand crank a Model T Ford either. Nowadays everybody has these fancy schmanzy automobiles with the push button ignitions and the remote starters.

Lazy bastards.

“And nobody has time these days to hand crank a Model T Ford either.”

We had a tractor with a hand crank.
It was fine unless it decided to backfire, then it would darn near take an arm off. Give you a nasty sting at least.

I laughed at the youngsters when they were showing off their new cars with the push button start. “We got rid of that long ago” I would say. They just looked puzzled.
