Maybe I misunderstood but there seemed to be an implausible moment in tonight’s episode when Jim Brass said they had a warrant to impound the suspected “hot rod” auto owned by the perp’s secret high school girlfriend.
I know cars last longer here in the desert but why would anyone keep their “high school” car for two decades after they have married, raised kids, and generally moved on with life?
Even having an 18+ year old car on the road that long is a unusual. (Please don’t tell me about your 1970’s clunker. We’re talking probability here.)
According to Consumer Reports, the average automobile “life expectancy” is only about 8 years or 150,000 miles.
