when some country drops an EPM Bomb you will still be able to drive your Model A (may not be able to buy gas but you can still drive),

I thought the same thing until I read the book "One Second After".
The police, fire. and emergency agencies commandeer all the vehicles that are still running.

I never cease to be amazed at the twists and turns posts take on this site.

In the book "one second after" the guy actually had a Model A in the garage but they never used it in the story.

I haven't heard the term "Foot Feed" in a very long time.

My farmer relatives laugh at me using the foot feed on the tractors instead of the hand job like a real farmer.
