Okay I feel horrible for the families of the people who were killed in this accident. But is anyone else really really really hoping that this airliner was shot down by a Russian supplied SAM(however unlikely it may be)? I can’t even imagine how Putin would try and explain that to his country.

The price might be a relevant piece of info here.......

You’re a god damn moron. The double yellow line absolutely applies to motorcyclists.

THIS!

a) You probably don’t ride. Believe me, there are plenty of places that are unsafe for a car to pass where it’s no problem for a bike (either due to the bike being able to do the pass or simply because of things like better sightlines due to lane positioning etc).

I think people forget that for every fighting soldier, be they on foot, in a vehicle, on or under the water or in the air, there’s a whole bunch of people behind him (or her) and massive logistical effort to keep that fighter fed, clothed and supplied, and…

So you run into this thread to post “ha! We are all gonna die sometime!” in an attempt to downplay or dismiss legitimate concerns, (and to basicslly say you dont care about the emmissions since you are gonna die) and you then tell others to kill themselves first? When they are the ones mocling your carefree attitide…

Don’t forget that there is a real human cost to this scandal: people died as a result of the excess pollution over a decade. From Kevin Drum’s Blog over at Esquire:

I have a bridge to sell you.

But others will have similar testing methods, so a potential 11M is accurate depending on each countries air quality-emission regulations

I think you accidentally uploaded pictures of the current gen Passat and not the new one.

Id like to add to this discussion. I’m a diesel engine performance engineer.
