@@agentmueller I was a Missile Technician on board those submarines. My job was to maintain the missiles, the launcher systems, fire control systems and all associated subsystems to launch the UGM-133A Trident II missile(aka the Trident II D5 missile). On the West Virginia and the Wyoming I was the lead personnel manager of 25 guys while out to sea and over 50 guys while in port when our crew owned the boat. My last two patrols, I was lead personnel manager over the Missile Technicians, Fire Control Technicians(torpedo guidance), Torpedoman, Sonar Technicians and Deck Division(who were the guys that made sure the boat topside and inside while underway made sure we had no rust). My first two patrols and my last two patrols were the hardest one of my life for different reasons. The first two patrols, I was busy qualifying for my submarine dolphins(a requirement to become a submariner) and doing my divisional qualifications to stand watch. The last two patrols was the sheer amount of people that worked under me, about 50. And I was the one woken up when there was a problem with equipment or personnel. So I hardly ever got more than 3 hours of sleep while underway and there was always one idiot who was always in trouble or getting a DUI when in port. Along with being the lead personnel manager, I was also the force protection assistant officer, ships qualifications petty officer(in charge of all E6 and below qualification requirements for personnel qualifying for their submarine dolphins) and ships calibration petty officer. When I left the Wyoming, I was tired and ready to retire.

I imagine that ground clearance was used a lot more in daily life back then thanks to less pristine roads.

Fun fact, that version of a horn is called a "klaxon"... Or at least, that's the modern term used to describe the "ahh-ooo-gahh"-type of horn or siren. Technically, in its original usage as a brand name of horn, a Klaxon used crank-driven percussion of a diaphragm instead of air-induced vibration (think old-fashioned police or fire sirens, air raid sirens, or tornado warnings); however the sound is so distinctive that once the trademark expired, it entered the modern lexicon to describe that particular sound of siren or horn. The word has even entered many other languages (such as Japanese, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Romanian , Czech, Indonesian, Turkish, and Korean) to describe any general car horn. The more you know!

I think a better way of describing it would be like this: 1. The car sits VERY tall on what are basically wooden wagon wheels, not actual tires. It also has no real cabin, so you don't ride _in_ it as much as you ride _on top_ of it. 2. It doesn't have much internal storage space, so you've got external racks and spaces where you'd put luggage like steamer trunks that'd normally sit at the foot of a bed, suitcases and baggage, and spare tires (because lord knows you're gonna need them). Basically, if you were moving stuff, you'd strap shit to your car instead of putting it inside the car. 3. The controls are all kinds of whack. One peddle is simultaneously the clutch AND the gear shift, one peddle acts as a brake (but ONLY if the first peddle is in neutral), and one peddle is entirety dedicated to reversing. And both the arms on the steering wheel control your speed, one controlling the fuel intake while the other controls the spark plugs. This isn't even mentioning the whole startup sequence. If you left this thing off while getting groceries, you could be 100% confident NOBODY could steal it because just starting it, let alobe driving it, is so complicated. 4. As for the horn, it's more of a mechanical siren than anything. It's like if you taped a bell to a loudspeaker and just slapped it onto the side of your car. Looking at this from the perspective of a modern driver, this shit is closer to tractor than to a communal automobile.

Silly nostalgia lmao! I'm glad my car doesn't break my wrists if I'm not careful cranking up the engine! 🤣

Probably runs and drives better than anything Ford makes now.

😮 Likely To Be Easier To Repair Also😊👍

I think one thing about the model t is it’s also like a pretty design, the leather in the seats, it’s kind of charming on its own, I used to live in an area where some of the older resident drove them around town in the summer, cool stuff

I had an archaeology lecturer spend a whole minute describing how the site he worked on was so difficult to get to in a brand new Land Cruiser. The next slide was a lady from 100 years ago parked in the same spot with her Model T.

This car looks so freaking fun!

From I what my stories was my Grandpa had one and it was their first car 👍🏼

And it would really surprise you how inexpensive they are. Especially compared to other classics.

WAIT! Wait! I got one more fact. If you’re in a head on collision with anyone who has a modern day vehicle that isn’t a massive truck this thing will immediately crush you.

Unlike a modern car that gives you a slow painful death in a car crash, this car kills you painlessly pure engineering!

I like the way he says “slow down” the spark, instead of the now non-PC word he wanted to use

Me trying to imagine how you slow down a spark in real life (as opposed to a slow-mo video). 😂 I think "delay" would have been a better word, but what I know for sure is that KZread is "slowed down" for preventing him from using the proper terminology! 🤦‍♂️

Grey, red and green. I need to research that.

That's no awooga horn, that's an 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAA' horn The wooga remains to be seen

FORD....Making the BEST rear ends since 1903 👏

My grandmother said that her father, apparently an extremely patient man, would turn the engine for sometimes an hour before the thing would start up for him and would never complain about it.

Some old cars from 100’s of years ago had a carriage that you could grease, they used these things I forgot the name of them, that would hold the grease and then every time you hit a bump, it wouldn’t screech.

"This is the reverse, and that's your break!" Model T: "Right... Breaks..."

"Slow down the spark" That ain't the word for it brother.

the horn killed me lmfao

I definitely need one of those horns😂

My foster dad had 2 model T's both had the cloth top to them. Didn't run, but I remember always wanting to sit in them and act as though I was driving. Never had a clue they were older than my grandfather. I still love seeing one today. They were the stepping stones to today's cars and were a marvel of the time.

Awesome video. It's great to see the past being describe on how it works. Great looking vehicle

This guy has the energy of someone who says "Jeezy Petes!" on a daily basis

The guy who bought that car when it came out has the license plate number of 1 😂

Ooohh, they came in red!!!

Those wheels are so thin you could get them stuck in a crack in the road.

Stand next to the vehicle and you'll realize just how "thin" they actually are.

Imagine someone road raging at you in that and they awooga at you

You can also jump it if it wasn’t sitting for too long, you pull down the gas quickly, it works sometimes

A lot of people have no idea how loud that horn is. One of those almost blew my ear drums out

Incredible machine and a beautiful piece of history. I’d love one, please cherish this and take care of it with all your soul 🙏

That’s called a klaxon, which is also hands down the best word ever made

I love the seat . It’s like u r relaxing in your living room

That’s a cool car

We got like 6 rollin around kcmo/kck. Those, 1920s-40s cars, (by the dozen) etc. My personal theory is that everyone in kansas city is rich beyond belief.

Model T's are still surprisingly affordable considering their age. They made SO MANY of them, and they're only marginally drivable on modern roads, so it helps curb demand.

I was waiting for you to make the awooga horn go awooga.

Dude why did you tease us like that?! We wanna hear the "awouooogaahh" 😫

It was only available in black from it's inception through 1925 - Henry Ford famously said you could get it in any color you wanted, as long as it was black.

I’d still drive this today.

Turning over a T with your right hand like that is asking for trouble lmao The engine turns over right so if you're using your right hand it could throw the crank a half turn right. If you're holding it with your right hand, it compresses your arm and can break your wrist or elbow. If you use your left hand, it just yanks it OUT of your hand and it eliminates any risk of breaking your arm.

My favourite feature is the horn 📯

Older cars might not have been the safest back in the days but at least they looked more stylish then modern cars.

It is called retarding the spark, not slowing down the spark. It is adjusting the rotational angle of the crankshaft when the spark will occur, not how fast the spark travels between the plug gaps.

The Model T was designed for working families living on dirt roads. Hence the clearance and cargo capacity.

Fun part about step one of starting it. That ignition advance is important, if it fires before you reach the top it could spin backwards and break your thumb. Also why you should not put your thumb around the handle, instead tuck it in your palm.

You had me at “aftermarket Ah-OOGA horn.”
