J Leno: Bringing Awareness To The Younger Crowd & The Model T

[keithb7]

I watched this and was entertained. Jay said he tries to include young kids in the vintage car culture. That's a good thing to do. That is indeed the future for old cars. Their keepers.

Time passes, it's sometimes hard for me to believe how quickly things have changed. The next generations sneaking up behind us. Taking over what we have built.

 

I have in the past coveted an old Ford. A Model A or a Model T interested me. However I have come to grips with the elevation changes around here, and the power limitations of these old cars. Climbing twisting steep hills at 7-10 mph speeds is fairly dangerous. Today's traffic coming up behind on a blind turn at 50 mph is not ideal. At this point I've decided the later 30's flatheads are better suited for me.

 

Good on the kid for taking on the old car hobby. Cool on him for making the Model T his own...The man-bun I have trouble with. Lol. I can get past the GALP. The man buns?....?

60 years ago I guess it was the long hair hippy look. In many ways things are still the same. Generation changes.

Thanks for posting the video,enjoyed watching - although I'm not sure I would trust Jay Leno driving one of my old vehicles...appears he missed a stop sign around 27.55 in the video.?
