Since he is a young man he likes to learn and do something new.

            Then,Henry’s passion lay elsewhere, he building a horseless carriage become his off hours obsession. With his gas-powered vehicle he named the ‘quadricyle’ he attracted the attention of investors and started his first company  in 1899. unlike most car makers at the dawn of the industry who saw the automobile as a playing for the rich, Henry believed he could build an affordable vehicle for working people. His vision ran counter to that of his backers and they pulled the plug on his company, Henry’s lifelong hatred for the wealthy was born.
