That's a new one on me. That town I grew up in was 90 miles away - the one where they keep the liberty bell - and I didn't get to Pennsylvania Dutch country too often.
But what do you expect from folks who drive one horsepower cars?
The Amish may have a few lessons for us, though. While their religion allows them to ride in cars, they're forbidden from owning them. Of all worldly possessions, the car is considered the most corrupting. I think they use GERD and Vinnie as examples of where this corruption may lead.
And the Google tells me that new buggies are no longer made from the original wood, but are replicas of those older designs, made of - what else - fiberglas.
