Hello All,

Legend has it, Henry Ford insisted an electric starter be installed in his
cars (Model A?) after a close friend died of complications from injuries
sustained from hand cranking a Model T. The kick back of the starter
knocked the guy in the jaw! 

I'll stick to starting my car from inside the car where it's safe, thank
you very much!
