Polking Around A Slow Power Pastime Remembered
A reminiscence recalls gentle Model T crashes and childish escapades around Polk. The narrator describes clunking collisions, a pastor passenger, and steering mishaps as their group prized slow power over speed. Albert Benson's team helps flip a toppled car back onto the road, ending with a nostalgic note on slower times.
