Something to consider when you're supposed to be sleeping - if you were to lay end to end the connecting rods of the 15 million T's made (not including the replacement parts) they would go to the moon and back 14 times. (I think I got all the zeros in the equation)

On the other hand, figuring eleven feet overall length for a Model T, if parked end to end, it would require about 136 million of them to stretch from here to the moon.

Sorry, I must of used the "new" math, it only adds up to 8522 miles. Only 3 times across the USA

Yes, but you could lay them out across the state of Kansas 21 times! Certainly, something to consider!
