“Otherwise, I fail to see how you are not getting a whole lot of something for nothing, and thus have no basis of complaint about any of it.”

I’m at 90k. I know a couple people who have had turbochargers fail ~85k miles which is the major concern. My car is a DSG also so the flywheel failures are also in the back of my mind.

The “pre-scandal value” being used in the buyback is NADA trade in value from September of 2015. I don’t trade cars in so that is not accurate for my situation.

Not quite. TDIs held their value very well prior to dieselgate so the buyback is not a “huge” bonus. It’s slightly more than I would have received in the used market if VW wasn’t a bunch of sleezeballs.

MKVI Jetta (182" x 70"): 88.47 ft^2
Acre: 43,560 ft^2
Jettas per acre: 492.36
Acres for 480,000 Jettas: 974.9

Couple problems with that:
-You’re taking a huge financial risk driving the car as insurance will not payout anywhere close to what VW will with the buyback. If my car got totaled I would lose 6-7k.
-VW is forcing people to keep cars that may no longer fit their situation. Whether that’s a financial situation, family…

This is what I always found interesting in these debates. Everyone focuses on the cost of manufacturing going up and assumes it will directly translate into higher prices but I don’t seem to remember these companies offering us a significantly lower price when they exported the labor. Most companies just rolled the…

2 Mustang rentals last year with my wife. Combined mileage close to 3000 miles. Only disagreement we had was fighting over who got to drive.

Making it a toll road would guarantee that it is full of tourists.

I’m sure they’re very comfortable being around people that use phrases like “the blacks”

Hardest part of this challenge is finding a Starbucks in an area that voted for Trump.

They did you a favor.

What?

They should work on autonomous cars then because their customer base is blind.

I kinda wonder what the guy in this story tows with. I’ve always seen stackers towed by 300k+ motorhomes (where the height looks more normal).

I guess it depends on how you interpret it. I was thinking the law as written applied to 18' in overall length.

If it’s 18' deck length you’d be okay though.

“So a more typical amateur racing trailer would be kosher on my property, but something as outsized as this trailer would be banned and would have to seek out a storage lot. It’s a compromise that I can live with.”

You sure about that? 18' is awfully short.

It’s a stacker trailer. Fits 2 cars:

Funny you mention that. The neighbors had no issue with his previous enclosed trailer that was normal height.
