The photo just made me think about all the crazy things we did while growing up on the farm. My Aunt Emma shouted "Oh-Oh-Oh!" watching the boys taking the corner with two wheels off the ground. The age of innocence hasn't been lost, other than in today's phones.

Re: Would like to see a new Forum section for discussing modern accessories for your Model T

Mr. Lodge hits the nail right on the thumb! Too many sections cause disinterest in others. Stimulating thought becomes lost, and less attention becomes normal. Kinda like sticking one's nose in an iPhone and ignoring the rest of the world. JMHO
