2. What a wonderful machine. |

You are indeed fortunate to have been able to experience a ride in such a fantastic car.
I'm amazed at the cost you quote. $1,800 in 1908 was nothing to sneeze at. You could probably have bought a fairly nice house in many parts of the country for half that.
I shall now sit back and try to imagine what 127.66 mph would feel like in a car like that. A combination of exhiliration and stark staring terror, I'd imagine. Especially around the corners.
