    I came out of one of the branches I cover, and I saw a sight that just made me laugh and shake my head at the coincidence of the juxtaposition of old & new.

    Parked next to my 06 Prius, was a 1915 Ford Model T. I was so taken that i completely forgot I could use my cell phone to take a picture. It was just great seeing them together. The elderly gentleman waiting for his wife to come out of the branch, asked me a ton of questions about the Prius... as I did about the Model T.

    Then he left, after starting his T with a crank on the front of the car.

    Has anyone else had this happen by chance?

    No, but I believe a Prius owner here has an old Ford Model... A? parked next to his new Prius.

    That's awesome!! You should have gotten a picture though, especially when the guy cranked the Model T up. That would have been priceless!! :D

    Yup! He owns both a Prius and a 1931 Model A.

    These are those photos.

    Almost any car looks antique next to the Prius. B)
