My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

My girlfriend came over today to check out my chassis. she had helped out alot on the restoration (can be seen on my website). She asked if she could drive it and i said sure. She can kind of drive a manual but not 100% yet. She has practiced on my 1991 Jeep Wrangler 5 Speed.

Anyways, heres the link to her driving the Chassis for the first time.

Very nice. You're very fortunate, my wife won't go anywhere near mine. Enjoy.

Must resist the temptation to misconstrue this.... :D

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

I just knew that canoe was a goner! Better start looking for another Model A for her to drive or you may never get your's back.

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

Well, so much for your chassis. How did she like the Model A?;)

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

Lookin good Mike! Congratulations.

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

You're a lucky man, Mike. Be careful, it could cost you a lot of money!

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

Both the car and the girlfriends are keepers... and they both can cost you money. You are a fortunate young man.

Looks like fun, my wife hasn't even driven mine yet after owning it for three years. I keep asking her...

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

What chassis?

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

HAHAHA!

- Also, her grandfather who lives in new hampshere has a 1926 model t doctors coupe that he restored years ago and a 1929 model AA Fire truck that he has almost finished restoring!

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

She looks pretty happy with both of you.

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

My wife says she'll ride in my car "when it's finished". So, when is anyone ever "finished" restoring their car? But next year my daughter is sixteen, and maybe I'll teach her to drive a stick shift in my A...

Doug, My daughter is turning 16 next year also and we have the same plans. I just hope I can get my coupe done in time.:D

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

It's good that everybody learns to drive a stick trans early in their driving life as you never know when you need to in an emergency. Same goes with the Model A and double clutching. You never know when you're out driving and something befalls your ability to drive it back. My wife just drove 113 miles with fifteen other A's Sunday on our progressive dinner/garage tour. It was a nice relief after I drove 120 miles Saturday with a different club on a color tour.

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
 

Jeez,

I drive 100 miles every day for my normal commute. :(


That said, my old man taught me the standard 3 speed shift pattern when I was 4. I've never forgotten it.
