I’ve always been fascinated with so-called "zombie cars," so I'm constantly looking for defunct models whenever a sales chart comes out. While all our stories so far have focused on new-but-old vehicles sold in the United States, here's one from Europe. It’s easily the most puzzling list we've ever seen since it includes quite a few relics.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

Honda was relatively late to the game on electrification. Only now are we seeing the Prologue and Acura ZDX on the road—both of which use GM's Ultium platform. But even as EV enthusiasm wanes, a new bespoke platform for Acura's next electric SUV and an entire range of 0 Series products means Honda has no plans of slowing its EV roll.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
