A Model T Ford, circa 1924 or something.
I like to deal with things understandable to myself, and a Model T Ford, circa 1924, is a machine I can understand.
It wouldn't be so hot, trying to drive it on an expressway in or around Baltimore or Boston or Pittsburgh, but out here in the Sandhills, it would be great. If something went wrong, even I could figure it out, and deal with it.
