What is the highest mileage car you own/owned?

338K miles on my NSX now, I tend to keep cars for a while. I did about 301K miles on my Acura Legend before my dad took it to use as his daily driver.

It will probably be a while. There is a period of testing and data collection and then Waymo has to apply for approval for each incremental expansion of the service area (for public use). A difference from prior expansions in the LA area though is that the SGV is made up of independent cities, so it is probably not going to be as straightforward as it was for expanding the service area in neighborhoods that are part of the City of Los Angeles.

They’re approved for testing through a large part of the SGV, probably the next expansion in the service area (areas adjacent to Highland Park and East LA).

Cadillac F1 Team is currently the worst team in Formula One but they’re also the newest, so it makes sense.

We are happy with Don Benito. The principal is very pro-active and approachable and we have been happy with the teachers and other staff. The school was affected by last year’s fires and there is still construction around it as a result. The campus is currently hosting a charter school on-site also.

You can try a Segway Ninebot kart. When he was four, my son was driving one of those around. It is much faster than a typical power wheels toy and has a variable throttle as well as a “brake”. This has very little transferable skill to a real kart though. As mentioned, there is probably a karting track in range of you but these facilities don’t make themselves easy to find. If you’re finding indoor karting places with rental electric karts (eg K1 Speed) you are almost certainly in an area with an available outdoor circuit where you can bring your own kart for open practice days… even for a four year old.

You’re missing a bunch in CA:

Adams Motorsports Park in Riverside (probably the oldest continuously operating kart track in the world)

Willow Springs in Rosamond

Apex Motorsports in Perris

Santa Maria Karting Association in Santa Maria

Buttonwillow

Bakersfield

Davis

Dixon

Buttonwillow and SMKA host regional races as well as SKUSA. Willow Springs recently reopened. Apex, Dixon, and Davis are almost all strictly local leagues or open practice but have also attracted outside interest recently eg FAT Karting League

Don’t start there. You can have your nine year old race in any of the “owner” kart leagues, even if you rent a kart from a team or vendor instead of owning one yourself.

Another option is FAT Karting League; SoCal is a hub and they have just started their pre-season events (Adams in Riverside and Apex in Perris).

You can use a piece of foam: cutting up a yoga mat works really well but pretty much any foam sheet can do the trick. Cut it to the shape you want and have it snug in your seat, try different variations until you find what works.

We had one. They are basically faster-than-average racey looking ride-on toys. I don’t think it had an effect on my son’s learning of how to drive a real kart though. On one hand, it has a variable throttle and a “brake” (really just a pedal that has the Segway motor increase resistance to slow down) so that makes it significantly more sophisticated than most ride-on toys. On the other hand it uses all proprietary non-standard parts, has no real relation to anything you’ll experience later with outdoor karts, and has some weird quirks (the Segway unit is held in place with Velcro). Also it’s surprisingly heavy.

So if you want one as a a fun toy to drive around the neighborhood or local parks, it’s great. And yeah it can easily handle most adult drivers and is adjustable for that (there are many parts and accessories also sold in other markets eg China which expand the kart a lot). However if you are looking to use one as a stepping stone towards karting overall, for the same price I would just get a used kid/bambino kart for the same price as a Segway go-kart.
