D. C. Collier had his new automobile on the streets yesterday for the first time and the vehicle, when it was not speeding up and down the street, was the center of an admiring throng. . . He has the distinction of being the first San Diegan to own an automobile. –San Diego Union, Feb. 13, 1900
San Diegans marveled at the sight of Charlie Collier’s automobile in 1900. His three-wheeled “French designed” vehicle could speed up to 25 miles per hour and go 50 miles on three quarts of gasoline. For most San Diegans, it was the first automobile they had ever seen.

I admire your work, appreciate it for all the useful blog posts.
In this awesome scheme of things you actually get a B+ just for effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually confused me personally was on your facts. As they say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be much more true here. Having said that, permit me say to you what did deliver the results. Your authoring can be extremely convincing and that is possibly the reason why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, despite the fact that I can certainly notice the jumps in logic you make, I am not really certain of exactly how you appear to unite your ideas which inturn produce your conclusion. For now I will yield to your point but wish in the foreseeable future you link the dots much better.
