‘Teddy Roosevelt Carries A Giant Stick All The Time’. You folks are the types to know what I’m referencing, I assume. While riding a Moose.  |

Maybe the same length as a baseball bat so that Teddy doesn’t need Hulk muscles to carry it around? Hey, that might actually be another interesting frivolous ASB scenario! |

What If all Model T-Fords in 1909 when the first 10,666 where produced where replaced by this Ford F-150.  |

Even though driving these modern Fords might be fun and all as soon as enough owners figure out how to man the controls, I’m not sure the downtimers have a means of refueling it yet. Let alone the technical knowledge or industrial capacity to repair and maintain them via spare parts and oil changes and such. However, they’ll be treasure troves for engineers and car companies who will advance automobile technology further in the long run. Even if their sudden appearance seems rather pointless in the short one. |

How much advanced electronics are in those things that 1909 might not be able to understand at all let alone reproduce? Also some things, such as if they have some GPS sensor or internet commection or even radio is going to be inoperable simply because they depend on external facilities that aren't there?

Well people get this when they see their small T-fords replace by the 150: TECHNOLOGY FOR CONFIDENCE AND CONVENIENCE, true GPS, radio will not work, but the rest will be working and going to WOW people who see it. |

Though even if the fuel itself is more or less the same substance, the supply chain and infrastructure needed to make it cheaply available to drivers probably has yet to be fully set up. By that, I mean the right gas stations, delivery networks, refineries and rigs needed to drill for, process, ship and sell the stuff to average Ford owners. |

Probably not officially, especially since the Papacy back in ~1870 made an official policy of papal infallibility - i.e. that the Pope is incapable of making an error in questions of religious doctrine. Of course he might decide that his new beliefs make continuing with the role impossible and resign. Failing that he could always have an unpleasant 'accident'.
