I do appreciate the info so far guys and glad to see I am not the only one who will be using a Model A regularly. I understand that there will be issues, and that there will a learning experience. But keep in mind, I grew up driving old cars, and when I was in high school, having some pretty old Bugs that were near the end, and not having much money to spare, I had to learn to keep those on the road. I am also not one of those guys who is comparing it to a new car-of COURSE it is going to pale in every measurable aspect to a new car.I am willing to trade a little elbow grease and speed for a car with charm and personality, so long as it does not leave me infuriated every time I take it out by leaving me cold and wet and stranded lol. I like newer cars-they are for the most part amazing, capable machines-BUT something has been lost along the way. People had a deal with the old cars that were once actually used for getting aroud-you take care of the car, the car takes care of you, so it became almost like a friendship as crazy as that may sound. You won't hear many people saying "come on baby, just get me home and I'll get those new points I have been promising" to a new Dodge Dart.
