Know anything about model Ts?
I'm editing my book placed in 1910, so the only motor vehicles they have would be model T fords and I was wondering how long it would take for someone to drive from northern Kansas down to the center of Texas.
Actually, there were several automobiles available to the general public in 1910. If vehicles are going to be an important part of your story, then perhaps you should do some more RESEARCH on the subject.
NOTE: posting dumb questions on an Internet Q&A forum is NOT doing research.
The 1910 Ford Model T had a top speed of around 45 mph. But in 1910 almost no roads were paved so you could figure they would do good to average 25 mph. There were other cars on the road at the time that were faster but the road conditions limited their speed also.

- Why did my 2000 Ford Windstar just blow all off the tranny fluid out. But now its not leaking anything? I drove it with a trailer attached all day then I dropped the trailer off and drove home. When a was turning on to my street the car violently shuck but kept going I pulled into my drive way and looked under my car and big puddle of tranny fluid everywhere. So I filled it up this morning and drove it 75 miles and when I got back I was still full on fluid and nothing was leaking. So WHY?
- How important is it to know the base model of a vehicle, like for example 2005 honda civic LX or DX? I'm not quite sure on the difference I mean if the Model is a sedan, how relevant would the Base Model be. LX or DX for honda civic 2005 for example. Or like for FORD Trucks LT XLT or XL
- Thinking about buying this car, but don't know anything about vehicles I was looking at this Ford Focus SES 2009 with about 123,000 miles. Priced around 7,999. Kbb says it's worth about 6,500 so there's some wiggle room in price. The Carfax shows that its battery has been replaced 2-3 times, and it's been sold at dealer auctions a few times as well. I was just wondering if the dealer auction is a bad thing? Or if that's an unreasonable amount of times the battery has gone bad? Thanks for your help in advance! Clueless about vehicles!
- 1993-2000 Model Ford F150 Trucks vs 1993-2000 Model Dodge Ram 1500 Trucks? Which Is The Better More Dependable Truck? I'll be buying a truck soon and need to know which one to buy?
