This Day in History
On this day in history, 1896, Henry Ford test-drives his first automobile. I think that calling it a 'test-drive' is a little misleading. I mean, if the thing goes forward even just a little bit, I would call that a huge success. It really seems like you have to grade the first automobile on a pass/fail basis.
Here he is on his 'Quadricycle'. Catchy name, Henry. Now, go hop on your Quadricycle, drive to work and fire your marketing team.
Apparently, even the first car was a chick-magnet.

There's a much better pic of Henry about 10 minutes after his first jaunt where the radiator is steaming and he's kicking one of those wimpy wheels.
/really starting to hate Fords.
