This is not an easy a question as people make it out to be. Yes the police don’t need to chase someone down over a traffic stop. Most jurisdictions have put guidelines in place to restrict their use (as they should in my opinion). However, what if police never chased, as seems to be the suggestion by some here.  More

You hit on an interesting phenomenon, I think what is considered old collector car has changed quite a bit since I was young. When I was in college there was a gal that still daily drive a TR3 in town as a daily driver. It looked ancient and of another era. Was about 25-30 years old at the time, same as your 57 Chevy.

Looking at the pictures of this thing reminds me that 90s cars were the best cars. Everything you needed and nothing you didn’t. Reliable, airbags, power windows and locks, good HVAC, and since it is a Honda you can almost feel how the switches click silky smooth like butter through the pictures.

No, they built them LHD for export.  With a few limited exceptions they sold a lot more British sports cars over here than at home.

That is my concern as well. I have been looking for an old British autocross car because I belong to an old British car club. If this were closer to me I would take a serious look at it. While the targa would make room for my helmeted head, I am very concerned about how it affects structural integrity.

No, it just needs spark plugs or maybe plug wires, or some other cheap and easily installed part, but the seller is just too busy and would rather sell the car at a loss than make the easy fix, that is the way Craigslist works, it is a buyers paradise out there, honest...

Easiest nice price of the year so far, and that’s saying...not so much I guess. Anyway, I suspect getting it up to snuff might be a take the initial estimates of time and money and multiply them by a factor of 3 or so, but you can buy it cheap and enjoy it as you go through the fix up adventures, which is much more fun

Point was an Act of God (a legal term not meant literally) is considered something that cannot be reasonably planned for or anticipated. The sun shines and reflects off of things most everyday, that does not seem like an unusual or extraordinary circumstance that couldn’t be anticipated, using the product in the sun

I wasn’t real clear from the story exactly what happened other than the sun reflecting off of something, as it tends to do.  I would agree that if someone put a giant sculpture of a magnifying glass complete with the lens by a parking lot, and you parked your car in the hot spot, that could not be reasonably

Probably could fix it by changing the plastic part to a lighter color.

I think Honda should cover it. There is an “Act of God” doctrine in the law relating to civil liability. Basically stating if something gets destroyed in a hurricane or tornado, that is an circumstance beyond anyone’s control and someone shouldn’t be liable for damages coming out of it (though you can get insurance

I used to call about $3000 the bottom end for finding a decent car that you might be able to drive for a while without spending a lot of money on it, and nothing cosmetically so embarrassing that you would park it down the street and walk to avoid being associated with it.  Now I think that floor is closer to $5k,

Wow, I have heard  a lot of them, can’t work on your car, no commercial vehicles, have to approve the colors you paint your house, but never “can’t wash you car.  That is just nuts, I guess only “the poors” wash their own cars and it cheapens the look of the neighborhood.

Yes, but the general point I was going to make before I got all snarky was that the article and responses seem to be focusing all the reasons people are building more car washes, tax breaks, real estate investment whatever, but not the real reason, a huge market because people don’t wash their cars at home anymore,

All the complications and cost of an aging German car with none of the low center of gravity driving enjoyment. I am out, somebody will buy it, but it doesn’t raise my interest meter enough to punch a few keys and look for comparables.

Millenials—too lazy to do anything for themselves, can’t afford houses, can’t afford hoses, can’t afford a sponge, and don’t want any of those burdensome physcial possessions anyway, and because the boomers ruined the economy for them and the are saddled with too much student debt, plus you can still watch tiktok or

Small planes actually glide really well and are very controllable”

don’t “see” the modifications

The price isn’t far off what is being asked by dealers for similar year and mile models. But I don’t soo the modifications adding any money to the equation, and this one is being sold by a private party, which usually means lower price. Find a stock one for the same money, this is not the droid you are looking for.

I guess I don’t see too many of them or if I do I have taken it is “my desire for this is very strong” not I want to doink a car. If they go into graphically describe some sort sexual activity or desire to have same, sure, goes beyond creepy.
