The Model A was made to kill people??

I am sure many people died in Model A's but I think he was referring to the fact that these cars take a beating and just keep on working.
Maybe a better comparison would be to the old Timex watch sales tag, "Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin".

Ak-47's and Model A's don't kill people its the people that use and drive them.

AK-47's certainly were not designed to go quail hunting. They were designed specifically to KILL people. No other purpose.

 

[Gold Digger]

Ak-47's are not any good for quail hunting but my neighbor does a real good job on deer wolves, and coyotes. Had a friend in high school who quail hunted with a 22 and could bring down at least 2 everytime. I'll not call his name because he is nationally known for fishing and hunting.

As much as I want to believe they got this running so easily, I'm thinking there must have been some editing done omitting some additional work they had to do. Then again, I'm jaded. I've never run across anything in the woods that was complete enough to even attempt to start. They had all been cannibalized for parts ages ago. Maybe I'm just jealous. lol
