    Along about 1993 or '94, my wife was suggesting that we replace our 1970s car with something from the '90s. So I looked in Hemmings and found one of these.
    "Here you go, dear. Something from the '90s".
    "Wrong '90s!!!" she shouted.

      Yes, this would be more likely, however I'd like to see a bit more as the game ends around 1908 or so, so perhaps a oldsmobile, buick, studebaker, maxwell, stanley, daimler (well, the american made daimler models) really the list goes on and on. And have a glass windowed building with a nice Packard or Cadillac that you can purchase in Saint Denis, gee that would be nice.

    I wish a car like this was in RDR2. I always think it would be a neat DLC or something if there was a side mission where a car dealership opened up in Saint Denis. It would make even more since if it happened during the epilogue, since it takes place in 1907. You could have a series of missions helping establish the dealership, and when you’re done, you can buy a car. Even if they don’t let you buy one, it would at least be cool to see a few NPC’s driving them.

      @joeldaniels-akacringeevery7650 Год назад

      @@gregoryborton6598 the thing is, there were major differences between 1899 and 1907. In 1899, the streets were more narrow, with no cars on the streets, less electricity (arc lamps) and fewer buildings. By 1907, the streets were wide enough with cars and horses, with most cities being electrified and taller buildings into the equation. I can't really put the finger on rockstar because it would be have been too much work if they had to vastly change Saint Denis for historical accuracy between 1899 and 1907. It's still really cool for a historical geek like me.

    • @steamcarnetwork3910
      @steamcarnetwork3910 6 лет назад +6

      It was a later steam car, and the owner over filled the home made gas cylinders (filling them himself) which caused them to vent, the cylinders were under the floor above the engine towards the back of the car. There was no wind and a passenger in the back lit a cigarette, which ignited the gas. Many Steam Car owners today use propane for the pilot lights very safely and successfully, thanks to the use of sensibly installed systems and safety precautions. Indeed, a Steam car has never exploded.

      Some steam engines capture and condense the spent steam so it can be pumped back into the boiler. Those engines are fairly quiet. Other engines, like this one, just exhaust the steam from the cylinder directly to the atmosphere, so you hear a chug chug just like a steam locomotive. Range is limited by the amount of water it carries, as well as fuel.
