The ant-ghetto sign is no joke. Degrade this forum with ghetto behavior and get the boot. Ghetto behavior such as street slang, no regard for education (spelling & grammar) and threatening others with violence has no place on CAFords.com. Please find another forum to demonstrate such behavior.

yeah it did, and it is probably the easiest car to work on! you literally can do almost everything with a wrench or two!

How hard is it to drive that T? I know the pedals are all crazy in those things.

its pretty intense. you get used to it after awhile, but the spark advance/retard is on the steering column, the throttle is a lever on the other side of the steering column.
the left pedal is the high/low gear pedal. at the floor is low, in the middle is neutral, all the way out is high.
the middle pedal is reverse. all the way in and it rattles so bad it feels like you're gonna fall apart!
the right pedal is the "brake" i use the term brake lightly bc it's only a band that wraps around the rear axle, and it tightens to slow it down. needless to say, its not used very much! the throttle and left pedal are constantly being used to get around.
very entertaining to drive, if kind've alarming at first! there are NO quick stops, you plan from a ways away what is going to happen at an intersection/stop sign etc!
