Don't let anyone tell you a T is underpowered. Take a look at this display of awesome power.



It was raining and we had to take the top down in the rain before I could back it into the garage. Not wanting to get any wetter than I already was, I was a little quick on the reverse pedal after rolling down the driveway a foot or two and this was the result. Actually, I didn't realize it was doing it. I thought it might have chirped them at first but didn't know it was doing it all the way up the hill. It made no noise, at least nothing I could hear over the engine. I guess all it takes is a little wet concrete.

Hal,

Ya gotta be careful with that kind of horsepower!

Maybe some nos traction bars are needed. Did Hassler make those?

Just remember, no wheelies in the garage, Hal. It tends to mess up the ceiling real bad when you put your motometer through the sheetrock.

Bob

How is the back garage wall?
Drive carefully, and that is a whole different enjoyment, w2

The photo looks like you "Back To The Future" time warped into the garage, and in reverse no less! :-)

Back wall is fine. Actually, my '59 Harley is behind there. The picture is a little misleading. If you look carefully, you can see the spinning stopped a few feet inside the wet area. The other is just where the tires tracked in the water, so it's not as bad as it looks. I was very surprised to see those skid marks though. I had no idea it was spinning all that way.

Rain, now that is a foreign term.

Oh, we're getting plenty, now that my corn only has 6" ears that are only 1-1/4" in diameter and are WAY past the growing stage.

At least we can be sure you are not slipping that reverse band. Glad you stopped in time.
