Part of me misses working there in the Backstock. Part of me also felt bad about Dov being kicked out of the company. Sure he was a crappy person but that company was his baby and he really was passionate about it....he just couldnt keep his dick in his pants.

I thought this at first too, but it actually does make sense when you think about it. The $125 million is divided among a few dozen victims for several million each. The $850 million for the automakers get put towards the labor used to replace the airbags on the 33.8 million affected vehicles, or $25/vehicle

I would agree with you until it is coming out that VW has been desperately trying to make this thing disappear. VW’s fines and legal action against them are not really about harmful emissions. It’s about the eliberate nature of the defeat device’s implementation and the active kying and cover-up when they were found…

I definitely think there will be fewer crackdowns under Trump. Especially if some of these automakers have it in good with a urea supplier.

Too bad you still missed “sepcifically” lol.

 Catherine Zeta and Ellen Barkin were in 12 and 13. Catherine was like one of the main characters, Like the whole movie pretty much revolved around her.

It’s almost as if you didn’t do much research for this post and are fairly awful at your job.

I used to ride a motorcycle. I still do, but I used to also.

I see the “fake news” nonsense will be the go to excuse of racist, sexist, homophobic assholes everywhere. These dummies still don’t get that there are ways of easily finding stuff out.

I’ve been boycotting this event forever because I would lose my shit on the first white girl in a bindi/feather headdress/mehndi, but I’ll add this to my list of reasons.

but where will commenters complain about white girls in bindis for the third time today

Since the dying wish of the girl was to make sure people knew of it and her reason for it, it’s a conundrum. For certain the time to protect her is long past.

Protodad’s point was that FCA management doesn’t have a clue to any of their business operations (quality, emissions testing, business management, finance, engineering, marketing, etc).

I have to agree with him. Unlike VW I can only imagine that FCA execs have no idea whats going on in their company.

The low performance emissions compliant mode was too far removed from published specs to be acceptable to customers. Remember, the whole TDI myth was built around these engines delivering better MPG and performance than their competition (Merc, BMW, etc.) while still being emissions compliant. The performance piece…

The good news is, they’re now over 60 days late on the court-ordered offers to owners of cars opting for the buyback. ZERO explanation or estimate on when offer will be sent.

Most of us, actually

So, to recap:

Not a K-car derivative. As we can see in this screen grab, Homer’s car has a longitudinally oriented engine.

Sophie’s Choice - but now it’s street bike or euro-tourer.
