Solid shitpost. My first reaction was anger for the poor dog.
Then I realized there are no airbags or crumple zones, the driver isn't wearing a seatbelt and car pobably doesn't even have one available. The driver is also likely three martinis into his day already and so are most of the other drivers on the road with him. The dog might be actually safer than anyone else here.
Also there are only 7 cars and they can only go 5km/h as you’ll get delirium furiosum if you go down hill with backwind and make it to 13km/h
Nah, that's a mid-30 to 40s design. By that point, you could absolutely hit highway speeds if you had open space. Clyde Barrow (yes, Bonnie and Clyde's Clyde) preferred stealing Fords when he was robbing banks in the 30s, because one of the more popular Ford models was a V8, which could hit 60mph and outpace a lot of older police vehicles.
Yes, it's full-steel and the thing will likely decapitate you in a crash if you don't get a steering column through the sternum, but old cars got fast a LOT faster than you think.
Right. The dog is well restrained by a flexible sack. Much better than hitting the steering wheel at 40 MPH, when the car careens into an oak tree.
Well, the advantage back then was that far fewer cars were on the road...
A horse through the windshield is still gonna fuck up your whip.
