Range, weight, people driving steam bombs and frequently crashing them. Fatalities would increase drastically by making accidents more dangerous.

Technology have come along way and just keeps on evolving, over time but it's good to know what existed before, nice I like it, very adventurous and entertaining, a blast into the past.

What an impressive gentleman. Hopefully he is continuing to enjoy both his Stanley and good health.

Such a beautiful and amazing piece of automotive history, I hope one day I can own one.

I saw one of these in Mexico City at a museum which recently closed. The gentleman who presents the car in this video truly knows how to earn and inspire both respect and admiration.

My great grandmother told my brothers and I about when she and my great grandfather were married in 1908 and for their wedding gift was to go for a ride in a Stanley Steamer. She said she was scared too death of it because of the noise it made. My great grandfather ended up buying one in 1910. ...and of course, great grandmother wasn’t happy about it. Lol

Sage words, nicely spoken, Sir. The protocol of the start-up would not, in the day, have been any more irksome (probably a great deal less so) than bringing a pair into the stable, kitting them up and attaching the buggy. The only "down" I can see for the period motorist is that while parked up for shopping or visiting, steamers must still consume fuel to maintain pressure, the very problem that eventually made steam shunters uneconomic in marshalling yards when big Gardner-type diesels became available.

Take to the Road, I want to thank both you and Bryan for this wonderful exhibition. And if Bryan reads this, I truly enjoyed your telling of the story. Heartfelt without being brash, enthusiastic yet gentle. If I lived in your country I would like to spend an afternoon with you. Cheers.

I'm fortunate to live in an area where there are a number of Stanleys. In fact, there used to be two Dobles as well. One had an original body and the other a RR body. But Clarence Marshall, the owner of the collection, was more of "a Stanley man", as he used to say. Now we only occasionally see them on the open road, but still great fun.

Прекрасный образец эпохи стимпанка.

Unfortunately, the question about not how it goes but how quickly it stops was part of why the Stanley Steamer auto company shut down. One of the Stanley twins was test driving their latest prototype at top speed in Maine, and came up on two farmers chatting while driving with both horse-and-carts abreast the road. It was a case of hitting one of the farmers or driving into the woodpile, and he aimed for the woodpile. All in all though, steam autos are delightful cars, and I'd enjoy driving one one day, after remedial steam engine operating lessons of course

That was F.E. in 1918. Didn't know a "prototype" was involved. F.O. retired not long thereafter. But the cheap ICE cars were much more practical and far less expensive.

With all the car industry throwing its weight behind electric and hybrids, I have seen some comments here and there suggesting now is the time to revisit steam. It doesn't seem to be catching the headlines though and would likely take a significant investor to give it the publicity needed to raise awareness. Who knows it might yet happen!

Indeed it would be fascinating to see where steam tech could have gone if it had received the same level of investment as the combustion engine. I do think it is a technology that deserves attention. I'm sure some enterprising engineers could come up with clever uses with the advances that have been made in engineering in general.
