Nope. That car might as well be called problems on wheels.

That in one word s pretty terrible!

The thing is that the market for VW is huge in California. There are simply tons and tons of these TDIs on the freeways here. Whenever I visit elsewhere nowhere close to the volume.

Then your car won't likely pass inspection

You’ll have to have the fix done for sure in California or the card won’t pass smog. And yes- this intentional circumventing is particularly nasty and will do more to tarnish vw’s reputation than their reliability ratings.

If you're in a state like California you can almost be assured owners will have to have the cars fixed. Given that these sre way more popular in California there will be a lot of cars going on for the fix

So here’s what I want to know. I assume this “defeat” device will be removed on existing cars. If so I also assume that will affect fuel economy. So hence a ton of possibly pissed off consumers?

That is pretty cool actually. Dig those lights.

Jeb is to me a bit like McCain before he decided to be goaded into running a witchhunt and then chose ( or had chosen for him ) Palin. At first he seemed like he was a rational, reasonable person. After the choice of Palin... forget it. Jeb also seems like he is also fairly reasonable and compared to the rest of the

I agree with what you say about the 2 in reserve. By the time they do go into reserve the things are frankly worn-out. But even so what I was trying to indicate initially was that we have 10 active carriers. Now when you put that into consideration look at what China has for example. They have a carrier built out of a

I once worked at a nasty diner in college and the line cook drove an 80’s oldsmobile delta 88 that has rod knock. The amazing thing is that her drove that fucker for over 6 months like that. I could only imagine the holes being beaten into the cylinder wall. He eventually drove it into an abandoned field.

I’m also a more moderate liberal. But to me the current batch of GOP hopefuls are so far removed from anything resembling reality that there might as well not even be a GOP contender. That said the only person who seems somewhat sane is Jeb Bush but he seems to be getting drowned out by the others.

Well... not sure its fear really. I think its more about disbelief. None of these guys have a remote chance as soon as they get out of their current conservative polling bubble. The second they do they will get trounced because they aren’t at all an appeal to anyone else. They are entirely reliant on their base at

Stop giving attention to these clowns. They’re an embarrassment to this country.

Indeed I read your words and my statement still holds true. Whether past or present tense the U.S. Baby is the single largest navy in the world.

People will probably be befuddled when I say this but IMHO the only Prius that looked halfway decent was the first gen. Why? Because it looked at least somewhat like a normal car. Sort of like a Sentra. There was something more honest about that design.

It would take a lot of effort to do so. Anytime a naval ship leaves service everything is rendered useless. I used to volunteer on a old WW2 carrier and the decmissioning process involved coming in and more or less cutting wires, removing sections of steam pipe, removing instrumentation, and so on and so on. As these

Excellent point. The Yamato was literally two times as big as any of the US battleships of the day. It was around 70,000 tons at a time when the average US carrier was 45,000 tons. Yet we bloew that thing in half.

We are still the largest navy and still by many magnitudes. For example: We have a total of 10 carriers, 2 in reserve, several being built. Everyone else? maybe 2....

Another thing: All of the people holding up those signs about “Making America’s Military Great again”.... Well, we’re already around 13 times bigger than the next biggest military, we have 10 active carriers with 2 in reserve and several new ones on the way. So exactly how much GREATER does it need to be? Do we need
