Default 120th Anniversary of the Automobile

Nobody's picked up on this yet, I'm surprised!

Today, Jan. 29th, 120 years ago Karl Benz filed for his first patent for his "Tri-Car". 120 years later, we've come a long way. Happy birthday to the car!

I wrote something about it on my website if you're morbidly interested.
