Default How to drive a Model T

Test driving the Ford Model T. Unexpectedly, operating it is very different than a modern day car, cuz the controls were different... Go to time 6:20 for the driver's how-to.

Lots of people who didn't know how (or temporarily forgot) to correctly grab the crank handle and crank it over to start it ended up with broken arms when it backfired. Try selling a product like that today.
