h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Having a bit of trouble acertaining if either Wilbur or Orville owned a car.

They did do a bit of traveling, but all I can find so far is by train and boat.
It's not like anyone would have been loathe to give them a ride.

But that would be an interesting bit of trivia to amaze your friends and confuse your enemies: What kind of car did the Wright Bros. drive?

Wow, that would have been a primo endorsement for a carmaker in those days. The Wright Bros were not above a little publicity themselves.
On the other hand, the wonderfulness of having a Wright Bros drive your vehicle might have been overwhelming enough that some enterprising little company might have given them one!

I'll have to see who was doing business in Dayton in those days.

My car is almost that old
Perhaps you can ask it?

Seriously...
does the library have any info in obscure bios?
(I figured you probably already looked, but it was the only thing I could come up with.)
How about asking Hypatia here on h2g2?
She's a librarian!

Sometimes the search is more interesting than the answer.

I have, in fact spent many hours rummaging around in the subject, and while I haven't found the answer, yet, I have encountered several intrigueing possibilities.

Tonsil-
You just gave the ultimate answer as to why men stop trying after they figure they have the girl!
The chase(search) is the fun part
I think the fun is also finding the answer, and improving on the question, or asking another question entirely.

Just call me
