Honda head units are weird in my experience, and they don’t seem to put much effort into fixing issues. On my ’10 Pilot, for example, hot weather would cause all of the physical buttons for the radio, CD changer and clock to go dead. Only the buttons on the steering wheel would work. A little Googling showed that this

I fear one day we will learn the truth: These midcentury illustrations were actually to scale, using specially bred models who were reared and kept in secret, only emerging at night to sit for commercial artists working in hidden lofts.

So many layers of failure here:

Early attempts to create the “living room on wheels” were a bit too literal.

This is probably a better value than it appears, considering what these cost when new, inflation, and all the upgrades and refreshing that have been done. But I don’t think the average buyer is going to do that math. ND.

I guess it depends how you define a pursuit. I think it is, albeit unconventional. All over a juvenile misdemeanor, pretty much the polar opposite of a forcible felony.

Maybe Tesla stumbled into something that in some ways resembles those simpler days of yore. But I feel pretty confident it was all about cost, not the driver, seeing how few physical knobs and switches there are for basic things you should be able to control with your eyes on the road.

What this does is puncture the notion that Tesla’s penny-pinching interiors are “luxury.”

The bike can reverse course a lot faster than the Explorer, which could explain the 6-second lag when they come back in view. Yes, the cop enters the intersection cautiously, which is the bare minimum of common sense, but once he’s around the corner, watch him take off.

Fair question, and it gets into speculation. The video gives a limited view, but my hunch is the cop had been watching for a bit, because he’s right there as soon the kid pulls away from the pump. If you look at how the rider fits on the bike, sure, it could be a small adult, but I would be thinking kid.

This as a toy, and pretty cheap as grown-up toys go. If you’re into French cars or you just don’t want to be the 12th Chevelle at Cars & Coffee, this could be your thing. NP.

Absolutely. But 13-year-olds will do what they do. Impose consequences they will learn from, but don’t goad them into doing something even more stupid and dangerous when it’s not necessary.

Even within the expected range of development, kids around that age are going to vary wildly. What you found to be an easy rule to follow, another kid might not, and you would both be within a “normal” range.

Because it makes for great “tough on crime” theatre. Not saying that an underage murderer should skate with no consequences, but it often makes no sense to try them as adults.

Let’s keep in mind that this kid’s brain was up to 12 years away from fully developed executive functioning. Unlike the adult who chased him and added stress that likely amplified all of the worst instincts a 13-year-old could muster.

No, you have this backward. They got stranded in locations so remote that a small plane was their only hope of rescue before nightfall and the emergence of...well, we don’t speak of such things...

A TR7 was one of a string of questionable automotive decisions my brother made back in the day. I’m not sure which he got rid of faster, the TR7 or the Yugo. ND.

I definitely wouldn’t do more than gawk at someone else’s 2CV. Just saying, if there’s a collector community where this is reasonable, then it’s priced for its intended market.

I was ready to go ND until the part about it being one of the cheapest examples for sale here. Well then, it does look pretty nice. If you really want one and everything checks out, NP I guess.

For the buyer who’s prepared to put in the effort to keep this on the road, NP.
