15-20 mpg

>reliably
grampa would love to have a word with you

This. Reliability back in the day simply meant no catastrophic failures. Still needs upkeep.

I seriously hope you don't plan on going 60mph. The thing has a single drum brake in the rear.

>single

What.

Most modern euro diesels struggle to hit that.......

He's talking shit, it has twin rear drums as well as a transmission brake, but only the tranny could be operated in motion

The old anti-masturbating device. It's hard to jerk it in a caste.

did you just try to say lack of emissions was a bad thing?
Do you really think a tiny fucking car has any impact on the environment at all? Even all cars pollution put together doesnt equal the amount of pollution from the top three cargo ships in the world. also

>>pollutes harder than all of India thanks to lack of emissions
What the fuck

>15-20 mpg
>no oil pump
>no water pump
>no fuel pump
>can reach 60mph on flat ground
>cheap

Actually it's more like 25-30 mpg.

at least it looks modern compared to ops piece of antique shit

Strange, how come 70HP diesels hit 160KM/h with no problems?

>this is what amerifats believe

Reliable in that era was not breaking down every 100km. With an engine swap every 10k km.

Because you don't know how to drive it

>huge aftermarket
>easy to modify
>weights only 1550lbs
>race history
>uniqe sound

Torque and gearing.

It's because of emissions that new cars barely get 20 mpg in the real world driving not that bullshit controlled driving they do just get high numbers manufacturers do

Not him but the model T was rock solid and dead simple

Keep in mind this car was made in a world where paved roads were uncommon outside of cities

Shit did well offroad and handled the abuse well

>head-on collision
>become dust

>shit did well offroad and handled the abuse well

It only did well offroad in the sense that you'd become well acquainted with every rut and bump on the road. As well they only handled the abuses so well because that suspension was as tight as a piano string

>It only did well offroad in the sense that you'd become well acquainted with every rut and bump on the road.
it's renowned for its cross country capabilities, you uncultured swine

Grow a pair and hit that togue, nigger.

They were garbage. Model A was leaps and bounds better.

no they done are you retarded? have you ridden in a model t?

>tfw a model A has more FLEXXX than your 4x4 tacoma

JUST ifs me now bruh

>dat flex
kek

look at those lateral leaf springs...

LOOK AT THEM

Cuck

>crash over 15mph
>die

>can't coast unless past 3rd gear

>implying that's a bad thing

DO IT FAGGOT

>60 mph
The most terrifying 60 mph in the world.

>wanting to go 60mph on those skinny fucking tires and with only rear drum brakes

Not just rear drums, but unassisted rear drums that you activate with a cable like a bicycle, no hydraulics.

>no ecoboost

God literally everyone who replied to this post didn't pay attention in English 1

Y'know, I decided not to say anything, but this.

It CAN go 60mph, but you really really don't want to be on it when it does. If you're thinking of commuting in this thing for gods sake don't do it.

Go take a ride in a nice model t someone near you has.
Simultaneously sublime and totally horrible

>unique smell

I'd love to get some tummy time with that kitty.

>can cruise at 60 mph
nope
>reliably
lol nope

and then theres all the safety features that are nonexistant.
theres also the fact that the act of driving it is different than anything nowadays, and we all know hard for you to learn things, and your autism makes change much harder

>pollutes harder than all of India thanks to lack of emissions
how can "lack of emissions" pollute, you fucking retard? I really hope you're just pretending for (You)'s.

no spare parts avalible
uses leaded gas
no air bags

the sickest fucking skids you've ever done in your life.

I want one of these babies so bad.

I'd do an LS swap tho.

>no spare parts avalible
lol you can make them

>I'd do an LS swap tho.
kek

Fucking malao.

CAN you
CAN YOU really make them

Good job lad

Don't know a lot about these cars personally, and this thread has been very interesting.
Yeah. Who really wants an airbag and emissions controls on a classic car anyway.

My grandfather drove a Model T back in the days when they were normal to see on the road, and he always said the Model A was a vast improvement over it in each and every way.

>60 mph
>cruising
yeah okay no that's not how it works buddy

A gang of Trabants drove halfway around the world through some of the toughest environs on the planet. And it's made of pressed cardboard.

Go figure.

Driving one is not like driving a modern car.

Magneto ignitions are finnicky bastards.

Our great-grandfathers spent a good part of an hour getting the car ready to drive.

Are you sure you have that ability?

Can you get decent modern tires for these things?

Actually Duroplast, but yeah.

>our great-grandfathers spent an hour getting ready to drive
Lmao my great-grandfather wasn't a poorfag and could afford Cadillacs

If you drove in the early 1900s you still needed to understand basic mechanics and be able to do manual tire repair/swaps as well as wheel swaps by the roadside.

Also Model Ts didn't run magnetos. They ran a primitive but usefully redundant trembler coil system which is actually multispark!

Veeky Forums is not an antique car forum. Go to those for Model T info. Not here. Check out antique car meets like Hershey and Carlisle in PA if possible.

Be a mechanic or eager to learn.

Model T EcoBoost when?
