Did you have a "Little Red Wagon", when a child?

Ours was blue, because every family had one. Great fun.
My brother painted it blue.

Ours was red, I didn’t know they also made blue ones, I would’ve wanted a blue one.
My brother used to give me and my doll du jour rides around the neighborhood.
Isn’t it odd how we were delighted with such simple toys?

decorating a red wagon for st.pattys day parade?? Please help with ideas!!?

I need some help yall!! in our small community we are having a small parade and i was wanting to do a st patty’s day theme and decorate our 15 month old daughters lil red wagon as a float…any ideas would be appreciated!!!! was thinking the theme would be something like mommies lucky charm…

Good call Smokey. St. Paddy. Maybe you could fold a green table cloth over it, so it doesn’t show much of the red. Then tape green pin wheels to it, with some streamers, shamrocks, pictures of leprechauns, and dress them in green as well. Hope this helps.

What is the net Force acting on the wagon?

2000 N is used to push a wagon across a playground at a constant speed. The wagon has a mass of 20 kg.

your net force is zero.

whenever you have constant speed your net force is always zero as stated by newtons first law as well as newtons second law because if you have constant speed your not acceleration so by F=ma, your acceleration is zero hence giving you 0 net force

How many miles to the gallon does your 1999 Ford Escort Wagon get to the gallon?

I’m considering the purchase of a used 1999 Ford Escort Wagon 4 Cylinder engine and was wondering what I should expect for fuel economy in this day when local gas prices are averageing $3.05 per gallon of regular.

I have googled this question but turned up mixed answers. Some say 28/38 and others are saying 25/30. Which should I expect from a well running enging of this model?

Please reply from experience.

Thank you.

It depends on the transmission.
You’d get better millage with a standard trans or (stick shift) or had motion transmission.

that is the the reason for the gap in numbers

How long did it take people in wagon trains to cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains?

How long did it take people in wagon trains to cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains?

A few weeks if thing went well and more than a month is things went wrong. And of course it depended on where you crossed. It was easier to cross in the south but the approach was harder because there weren’t any rivers to follow. The Donner pass route in the north you followed the Humboldt River across Nevada.

How long has it been since you had a ride in a red flyer wagon ?

Great memories I bet from when you did! :)

1939. Grandpa pulled me on a ride through the countryside. That was 72 years ago and it’s still fresh in my memory. I can still see the water tower, the orchards, and I can remember exactly what grandpa said to me.

Were you the proud owner of a little red wagon as a kid?

BQ: Did you get to ride or pull more?

I was! And I mostly pulled it- I carried pretty much all of my toys and stuff in that thing. Sometimes I was pulled though. :)

Good ideas for padding in a red wagon?

Hello all!

So i just bought my daughter an all terrain wagon to pull her in at the beach, I wanted to make it more comfortable while she is in there. The only kind of padding I found is one that has been discontinued. I need some good ideas on home making one!

This will sound weird but how about a dog crate mat? some of them are very soft…

Do you know how to drive horse drawn wagons or equipment?

If so how did you learn? How many horses can you drive at once? What do you drive? Wagon, cart, sleigh etc.. Would you rather ride a horse or ride in a horse drawn wagon?

I have driven a 4 up team of Horses and mules but would rather ride most of the time. I grew up driving a team.
