.. That got me thinking about being an 11 year old in 1961, listening to old folks talk about the early days of cars in the first years of the 20th century. When they were unreliable and expensive and some people actually said they couldn't replace the horse for reliability and cost factors. Nowadays when I hear folks bad mouth electric cars I think that must have been the type of rhetoric that was going around in the early 20th century about gas powered cars. Then I start to think about how old I am.
