Surprised the Amish let them get away with making those, didn't pitch a b*tch.

 

Don't the Amish get funny about stuff like that, photographs, recreation of their likeness, etc...

 

Anyway, I suppose a great deal if you want 40 friends to shun you.

how would they know?  they don't use the internet   duh

To the contrary.  They use smartphones too.

 

Ownership and usage are two distinct things.

I was joking...    they "rent" but don't own 

 

I can drive up to Lancaster county  PA (30 - 40 min drive) and see all the buggies I want.  

 

I can take a "Sunday Drive" drive from Bird-in-Hand to Virginville to Blue Ball(s) to Mount Joy to Intercourse to Climax to Paradise in about 2 hours (stopping at shops)  [and even Reamstown if you are into that sruff]

 

Edit added Climax

Ha!  I wasn't sure if you were serious... Same here, have communities in Indiana around Goshen and Illinois @ Arcola.

 

Funniest memories were being in a general store in Arcola... Proprietor didn't want to fire up the gas lights @ dusk... Shopping in the dark!  Wife loved the "ambience."  I just think owner wanted to dupe us into some expired jelly.<_<;)

 

Another one was when we went to an Amish auction downstate in Illinois... Back in the early 1990s.  A medical fundraiser for a young farmer who was dragged by his team.  Well there has to be about 100 buggies in the parking lot.  My wife asks: "The buggies look all alike, how do you think they know which one is theirs... The buggies look so basic, all black and the same...??  I bet they just share and take whichever one they want, easier to leave."  I am like: "Gee Honey, how novel... But I really think THEY know which horse & buggy is THEIRS! See the different metal-work, the side lanterns, the horse color, mane & tail? /smh"

On I-94 between Chicago and Detroit, there's a town in Michigan: Climax.

Too bad there's not a road that goes directly from Intercourse to Climax.
