The Germany wouldn’t let VW fail. Simply because they’re vital to the German economy. Like they could trigger a financial crisis in Germany, even if every other company was doing fine. And seeing as Germany props up the EU, I doubt the ECB would let VW fail, even if Germany did.

They usually get RFID tags that would lower the bollards so they can enter. At least I’ve seen this on streets that have traffic restrictions. Taxis and work vehicles are exempt. I imagine they pay a tax for that and could be ticketed if they enter for non-work reasons as well.

I’ve **attempted** to drive around central Oslo. It’s basically already prohibited. So many of the streets are pedestrian or tram only it seemed like. And the roads they did have were small and parking did not exist.

They put the passes in a database and they probably aren’t sent a second letter for at least x months

I am a three pedal diehard, and even I wish I had an automatic when I’m in traffic.

I’d rather be on a bus when I’m stuck in traffic than just about any car in the world (unless I’m being driven). At least I can read a book, send some emails, take a nap, and generally feel productive while stuck in traffic. None of which I can do behind the wheel. Even if it’s an amazing car, I’m still just sitting…

Both parties are assholes here. One is just more of an asshole.

Really, a Crown Vic? Again? It just looks like pandering this time. Desperately trying to put it on every 10 Best list... even a list of 4x4s where it has no business being.

You’re right. It was the ‘86 7-series. (barring an oddball chrysler in the 60’s)

Really? The whole purpose of a RHD mail carrier is to reach mailboxes easier. That may be hard with it being so low and having itty bitty window slits

First road car with projector headlights. The SLSS stereo actually rotated the speakers, depending on setting, to take advantage of the glass dome acoustics. This car actually had a perfume system integrated into the HVAC, much like the new S-class... This thing was literally the future in 1990.

I rented a diesel Golf MkVII in Portugal with the same deal. If you turned on start-stop, automatic parking brake, hill-start assist, it was basically like driving an automatic. If you stalled, it started right back up by depressing the clutch. If you stopped the car and forgot to set the park brake, it set itself. If…

You own more electronics than an iPhone, I’d imagine. Or buy an extended battery case/ external battery. They use USB and with a battery case you can charge your iPhone with USB.

That’s about as fast as the 540i of the same year, not exactly M5 territory... Also it’s automatic only... Also it handles like a w210.

I bought an 01 with 135k miles for $10k... With 3 broken window motors and a shot clutch. So $12k-ish after fixing those

If it’s your stock portfolio or company’s profitability, that’s a plummet. For MPG, it’s still significant.

Holy photoshop! That Montana picture is as fake as...

Please don’t pretend the Grand Cherokee is reliable. My mom had a Grand Cherokee Overland Summit Hemi Procter Gamble edition and god, what a load of horseshit that truck was. It felt like it was built by toddlers... Unionized toddlers who don’t work on Mondays. She traded it in for an X5 because she wanted something…

My dad had an ‘06 Sierra Denali with a quarter million miles on it. I loved to hoon that thing. Dad was expecting it to die at any time, so he couldn’t blame it on me. We went offroading, mudding, snow drifting, donuts, drag racing (it was actually pretty quick). Also the Michelin LTX M/S tires seemed impervious to…

My parents just went on vacation to Florida (again) where they just sat on a beach all day and drank rumrunners. To me, that sounds like hell. I don’t like the beach, the heat or being lazy. I’d rather stay at work than spend a week in Florida.
