I’m getting about 177 years to drive to the sun. But w/e. I’m soooo bored right now. Def a couple of neat things in there, though. I wonder how much using the parking break really does. ---

> [@travisn](#): > > I dont quite get how the model t record still stands Because since then, no specific model has been 55% of what is on the road. But one would think the “record” would be set by the first car ever to hit the road. Meaning it would have had %100. :gotme: ---

It says in 1916, 55% of the cars in the world were model t’s, the record still stands. that says that today, 55% of the cars in the world are model t’s. its just worded poorly I guess. and I use my ebrake on my automatic car on any sort of decent incline. I hate the feeling it makes taking it out of park after it was on a hill, it does not feel healthy ---
