Well, all of the components were likely lab and field tested on the current ECU only, so everything emissions related would be of first concern. That said, if there are widespread issues, I believe VW has waaay too much visibility on this, and will have to extend warranty coverage

Yeah, and I don’t think Sergio is in the mood to be taught a lesson by the UAW workers, when the Union management itself was clearly ready to make deals. At this stage of his career/life, I would say he has very little to lose. I think they made a beeeeg mistake. Chances are, he would be retired at the next contract…

In a battle of worsts, I would join Scientology before the Republican fringe.

A quickly melting iceberg.

Really, when you think about it, it’s just a fraction of what you’ll spend on keeping it running, so the ‘buy-in’ price is irrelevant.

Important point - has law enforcement officially stated that no DNA was found in the rape kit? Or is this all from a confidential law enforcement source?

I think SPLOID was started as a sub of Gizmodo. To promote that page and produce clicks, they needed to remind you of the name, and promote it heavily enough that it occupied your thoughts throughout your day, until it slowly drove you mad (it worked, right?)

Beijing on a sunny day. Excessive NOx emissions do kill and disable people in cities...very slowly, but en mass. That statement doesn’t let GM or other automakers off the hook for issues they should have been held accountable for...but diesels pumping out as much as 4000% of what they are supposed to is ridiculously…

Safe to say that, since he shot her whilst she was on the phone with 911, he didn’t plan this with intent to cash in on that life insurance policy... though I realize that sentence of the article was nearly verbatim from AP anyhow

I think liberals are tolerant in the sense that they don’t want to look into ‘getting rid of all the Muslims’, and don’t want to poke their noses into others business regarding who they can marry, what they do with their own bodies, things like that. However, liberals are intolerant of wholly intolerant self-righteous…

Benzos, I think... too many benzos

That face...it looks very familiar

They have sensors in the car doors for the garage door, and they only open as far as needed, (which sounds cool until they break in 10 years). Whether they articulate well enough to be crawling in along your garage floor is irrelevant - people who are enthusiastic enough to buy this just won’t care.

Are you insinuating Garoppolo was the origin of the leak? Because I don’t think you are...yet that would make so much sense

...because it was too cramped

Yeah, it is a bit “Aztek-like” if you look at it too long.

The internet is abound with theories on that wing part - one thing I did read was that if France positively identifies the flaperon as from MH370, the part has to be returned to Malaysia, and that is the reason they have not confirmed it. Who knows...

This is not stupid at all (to me), because I keep reading about new engines from a few different manufacturers consuming oil at ridiculous rates - and not consistently. They may lose a quart over 2k miles, then a quart over only 700 miles, all dependent on their driving cycle. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazin…

Yeah, it’d have to be a chime or idiot light...but the diesel engines rolling coal would probably not set it off. The carbon monoxide levels produced by gasoline engines are 28 times higher than diesels produce. It’s all of the other nasty stuff in diesel exhaust that will asphyxiate you, so this proposed detector…

This is terrible for Snyder. This team was solely his property to run for the longest time, but gradually it has been taken away by management, coaches, and bad press over time, leaving him with nothing but a small reserve of power
