I had learned how to drive by then.
In 1949 when I was 12 I went 124 in a flathead rail at the drags.

Whoa! A few years ago my sister in Las Vegas said she needed another car. What happened, I asked? Her 12-year-old son took her keys without permission and went joy-riding, and banged it up. 11 years, 12 years, almost the same thing. At least you were at the right place, must have been fun!

Oooh! I have an interest in Charles Martel. Do you remember the name of the documentary? Thanks!

Oh yes, what an awful story. Thanks for finding it and posting it here. It’s actually quite hard to believe that something like that could happen.

I don’t know, that is I don’t know how many of us managed to survive the forties, fifties, and sixties without police pulling all out of cars our parents left us in while the shopped and did errands, quite obviously the one thing that died for sure was common sense and what we are left with is a village full of idiots.
*************************************
Exactly! Family didn’t have an auto with a/c until ‘58, when I was 16. Most people in the neighborhood didn’t have a/c cars until mid-50s and the best we had in houses was swamp coolers that caused mold to grow inside. ...I recall a neighbor who had one of those devices that attached to his driver-side door/window that he filled with water and when driving a small fan would turn, blowing water cooled air inside the car.

I was hunting alone all over this county when I was 11.

As a general rule, we don’t turn our AC on until it hits 90 outside, and I leave my kids at home often.

Am I going to Jail?
