Default Not Model A, but I thought you guys would get a kick out of this.
My daughter's Beetle broke down on the way home Friday night. It is only a bad fuel pump, but it is going to be a few days before the new one comes in.

To get her home Pop and I rigged up a system base on reliable Model A technology. Gravity never seems to fail. We could see people pointing and laughing at us the whole way...but we got her home. The gas can is one the Pop soldered a piece of tubing into some 50 or 60 years ago for the exact same purpose.
