When you’re raised in Wyoming, it is quite easy to lulz, because those two stretches are easy compared to the stuff we deal with here. At least you don’t have 70+ MPH winds to factor in to a similar (if not more difficult) drive. I agree, many won’t see the extremes of the Echo Summit, but some of us deal with…

Or an organ Donner.

I just shoot it like I shoot any other shot and I’m partially confused as to why most shooters don’t do the same thing, because it’s not really THAT much further than any normal three.

Did Joakim Noah teach him how to shoot?

I was gonna come down here and jokingly truther this highlight with a “foot on the line” thing, but I decided against it because what the fart is he doing with the ball?!

You are wrong. Every contract contains an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Stripping a vehicle of parts because the agreement is silent as to the condition other than being operable is bad faith.

You better watch who you are correcting, he is an internet lawyer. They are always correct based on feelings, way more powerful than your facts.

I know many like my self are having their TDIs bought back for more than they paid. I’m being made more than whole and it’s difficult to understand why people are making this harder on themselves than necessary.

The judge is who ultimately makes the decision about the intended meaning of the language in the document. In this case, in the context of the settlement it is pretty obvious the language was not designed to allow purposefully stripped cars, but rather cars that happened to be in less than pristine condition. Any…

I’m not sure what jurisdiction’s legal authority you are referring to, but in California and under the UCC (which every state has adopted), all contracts have an implied covenant of good faith.

Actually, Volkswagen has to do no such thing. One of the judge’s jobs in situations like this is to interpret the meaning of the language should one side or another need clarification. The judge clarified what the language means, and if you want to play you have to comply.

This judges opinion matters a lot in terms of determining what was intended in this and future buy backs. That’s the magic of Stare Decisis.

Seeing as VW is already way behind, it’s no stretch of the imagination to think that any stripped VW magically finds its way to the back of the buyback queue until the verbiage is updated.

Bad faith breaches are absolutely a thing and exactly how one would assert the “spirit” of the Consent Decree is being breached. It may not be living document in that it’s not subject to change, but it’s absolutely a living document in that it’s subject to the bad faith acts of the parties to it.

Damn you! There is an exception to every rule. That first video was fun. The second one cracked me up.

There is a way to do this without being a POS. Steve Kardynal is just a fucking gem, the absolute antidote to these assholes. He does this shit right.

Youtube pranksters are the fucking devil. Saleh is one of the worst; his shtick is exactly this. One of his videos is “Counting down in Arabic on a plane”. Another, posted below, is him pulling hijabs off Muslim women in public, “to see how people react”. He’s a professional asshole, another entitled YouTube piece of…

Mercury is more closer to Merc than Mercedes is. Pronunciation-wise at least.

Since you mentioned your Grand Marquis, the value of my ‘01 increases exponentially when I fill the gas tank and air up the tires.

I don’t agree, really — the sound, noise, smell, and sometimes genuine weirdness of the old mechanicals is a huge part of it for me.
