Easy! Just 4 simple options. Still with the Mk I – and Amish readers should note this was
designed in the 18th century. Unveiled in time for Christmas 1801, we find some interesting features. There are other clips online but I'm sticking with short excerpts from this one so you can watch it through if interested. Here's the next sample:

I would prefer to follow this because: |
good roadholding |
cute chimney |
directional stability |
I still wouldn't like to follow this |
OK, that's enough from 1801. We noticed passenger inadequacies; in the Mk II, there's a great leap forward in that department. It was difficult to find good footage of this replica but there's a nice CAD graphic of the workings if you'd like see that. Here's question three:

I would prefer to follow this because: |
compact axles |
works without a horse |
83 years before Bertha Benz |
I hope I never see one |
I have no idea what the Amish cut-off date is, as mentioned earlier, whether stuff from the 1700s is OK? Sometimes I've heard complaints about the horses and let's face it, if they were the only transport there'd be hundreds of millions of piles of steaming horse pollution everywhere, not to mention the fumes. To make a loaf of bread you'd need to grow twice as much grain to feed the horses and the staff required to run them. Simply screenshot each question, mark your choice and forward to your local Amish stables with your question about dates. Perhaps other devices are not satanic (in their estimation) and could be recommended.

Yes! I'd follow this because: |
pollution goes up
not backwards & down |
it prevents me from speeding |
to save the dolphins |
No. I prefer the horses. |
