wow what an itchy vag start to a thread , every year at least 2 kids from my neighbourhood alone where hit by streetcars did the city outlaw public transportation ? Hint the answer is NO , the activities and experiences we enjoyed in our youth shaped us into the adults we are today , you learn to respect machinery which is very different from fearing it. to see a thread like this started here on a forum dedicated to older cars is dumbfounding .
PS I too drove cars from a parent /uncle/grand parents lap while they operated the peddles , we rode bikes without helmets and threw rocks at each other , made fires at the beach , collected gunpowder for bombs etc... and now I'm pushing 50 and doing most of it all over again yeehaw.
