Yeah, thats not how that works, at all.  Unvax people don’t cause mutations and spreading.  The majority of covid spread is currently via fully vaxed breakthrough cases.  Take a deep breath and try to stop hating other humans.

A bunch? That is one. You can’t “kick someone out” of the public outdoors spaces in a downtown, dude. No one is associating with these bozos, they just show up and taint the whole affair. You’re being judgmental and divisive.

When you are having a succesful, peaceful protest of thousands, and one dude with a nazi flag starts walking around behind you, what are you supposed to do? Beat the shit out of him? So now you’re all fucked, because someone snapped a photo, so you’re all nazis? The flash judgement of this whole movement from the very…

Yes, I do generally believe the excess death counts from coroners. That would be pretty hard to fake. But we are only quite recently learning how many people dying the in hospital didn’t go there originally for covid. Most states are showing that basically half of the “full hospital beds” emergency is people who…

What? No, just telling you my feelings man. I don’t troll, it’s pathetic and unsatisfying. Children do not need to wear masks. It’s not developmentally appropriate, they need to see each others faces.

And half of those people are dying with covid, not from it. We have that data, roughly half of hospitalizations are not people coming in with severe illness from covid. The fact that two years in, and no one is still discussing preventative health measures, like maybe not being an obese diabetic, is tragic. But no,…

Damn, thanks for that reply. My heart hurts real bad for everyone’s loss of community, family and society right now during these strange times. Which is part of why I want us all to have an honest and open conversation about what measures really work, and make sense, versus those that are blatant fear mongering and…

Lol, I hear you man. Sort of.  I never thought I would feel this way either. It ain’t BS, slow down and listen. I thought Trump was a crazy wanna-be authoritarian too. He openly admires how putin, kim jong un, and others can rule with an iron fist. It disgusted me and I never voted for that moron. I wasn’t thrilled to…

Jesus. Feels pretty sad that I have to explain any of what I wrote.

Thats funny how polarizing these recent events can be. I am the complete opposite of you. Diehard liberal who voted D my whole life. And now, may never again. Bodily autonomy has suddenly become the single most important issue in my life. Biden and his brain dead cohorts are aiming towards authoritarianism, and it disg…

Well said!

Thank you for having a completely reasonable and thoughtful position. This seems like obvious reality to me, but the non-vax haters are just so vitriolic. Convinced that someone elses choices that didn’t affect them one bit, have somehow prevented them from getting back to normal.  It’s time to be realistic here.

Pure conjecture on your part. All the variants have come from overseas, bud. Vaccine reducing transmission is a CDC statement that they do not back up with transparent facts. Breakthrough case severity, seems plausible, due to stats from hospital admissions. Aside from feeling bad for the profit-driven corporate…

Well sure, if you take your VW to the dealer, they are going to extract a lot of cash from you. I have only taken 1 of my 8 VWs to the dealer one single time, for the rear main seal. It was ~$700, which I hated, but honestly was not that bad for a major service like that. I’ve done all other maintenance and repairs…

Lol, ok sure. My family has had 8 different VWs over the last 17 years. All were exceptionally reliable (no joke, zero major issues) except one, that had recurring coolant pump leakage and blew its crank seal once also. It was sad because my wife loved that car (2010 passat wagon) but I sorta wonder how much her…

Hey, if that happens, that would be AWESOME.  Maybe we should fire more junk out, in random directions.  Let’s find someone to piss off!

Fair enough. I’m at 16+ years of VW daily driving now, every other car make just seems weird and not-ergonomic at all.

Ha! Good burn.  My Mk4 Jetta definitely had “the smell” but I can’t say any of the Mk5s I had or mk7 did.

Good question.  It obviously seems directionally correct for aerodynamics, but probably minor effect.  Aesthetics may be the main design driver (which I also do enjoy).

Thats a cool idea.  Everything on a VW/Audi can be re-programmed and re-coded to customize anything electrical - I wonder if this is a hidden option.
