Reminds me of a story my Dad once told me of a car he had...I want to say a
Model T. Fuel supply was gravity fed, rather than pumped, and he had to
back up steep hills or it would starve for gas.
'Course other weird stuff happend back then in the late 20's, early 30's.
My uncle once used bacon rind for rod bearing(s) to get back home. ...I
don't have a clue what prompted THAT little adventure. And while he was
fond of a tall tale, it was usually only by adding drama to a true story.

on this afternoon!)
