If you buy stocks you're giving your money to say a steel company for them to use with the promise of a return on your investment, hopefully with interest, when you buy a car or a house and expect to sit on it then sell it in 5 years you are speculating, there is no positive effect on the economy or anyone else at all.

But I don't know about Car Engines that rev relatively high, maybe they would run very rough if they weren't offset by 180° as a Diesel or Petrol Engine would be. But Stationary, Locomotive and Ship Steam Engines alway are quartered for that exact Reason.

I used to work the steam trains at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World. Not much different. They're oil burners too. Used compressed air to purge the system of the condensed steam and to start the atomization of the fuel. Used a ball of cotton to start the fire in the fire box. When we would have Top Dead Center of the piston, we would take the J-Bar (used for controlling the length of the stroke of the piston in the cylinder) adjust it to reverse with the steam cocks open (so not to create too much of a jerk release some of the pressure in the cylinder and make it easier to maneuver) and then back into forward. Worked like a charm! Brings back a lot of memories of working on the trains!

@v12tommy6 жыл бұрын
It depends. The more cars you have, even if you do have to pay insurance, the less it costs per car. I think they figure you can only drive one at a time, so the more you have, the less you drive each car. My Tesla costs me a little over $850 a month for insurance, but my friend who owns a fleet of 6 of them, only pays $1100 a month.

To Jay, today I want to give you a thumbs up, and my highest admiration for the gentleman you have evolved into and for the dedication and hard work you do to make restoring cars a work of art. You are the true entrepreneur getting your hands dirty making yourself knowledgeable about each car and being a real human being who actually cares and is as professional at the same time, I just can't say enough of how impressed I am. Thank You Very Much for making collecting cars so much fun.

Wow! Leno sure knows everything about all of his cars. He'll grab tools, get on his hands and knees or roll around on the floor to fix/work on his cars. And, he can drive ANYTHING he owns. He's a true classic car guy.

Sometimes I've found the really quiet vehicles scare them more. I've driven past horses enough times (not honking/revving my engine), but tried to sneak past one on a bicycle and it got skittish and the rider told me to announce my coming first.

Steam cars were still applying as long-distance public transportation vehicles in China till very end a few months of 1950s. My great granddad told me, from Cheng'du, Ssi-ch'uan to Wu' han, Hu‘pei, those steam vehicles need to take 2 days if you lucky enough without heavy rain or landslide in summer.

So appreciate when Jay not only shows the vehicles, but also takes them out and explains a great first hand narrative of its operation, how it feels, why, how and what it was of the time period and how it relates to the inventiveness of the technology. Great job Jay, love to watch you test your cars and play with them. Thanks for the educations you share... What a great hobbyist.
