This would be the greatest apocalypse vehicle if it wouldn’t have an electrical issue that somehow affected non-electrical bullet and bomb resistent reinforcement.

Hmmmm....I take it all this is to protect the driver when the engine/tranny/electrical system/whatever explodes?

It’s an absolute lose-lose for Volkswagen. We now know they are not capable of manufacturing vehicles that offer the stated emissions, performance, and fuel economy levels without cheating. So if they recall the cars to bring their emissions levels back up to what they should be, this will affect either performance or…

The article says CARB is involved too— I wonder if they’ll make having the old non-compliant ECU an auto-fail for emissions testing here in Cali. These may soon get way cheaper on the local used market.

I’m willing to bet that state agencies won’t issue inspections to these vehicles unless the recall has been performed.

If you don’t like emissions regulations, you can move to China and breathe in all the freedom that you want.

Answer from a lawyer - Because all of them probably include at least one false claim as a result of fraud and damages for false advertising are calculated at least partially based on the impact to the consumer. By removing the ads they’ve stopped the accrual of additional damages.

Thank you!

They could have the best selling car in the world if they just named ALL their cars “Golf”.

And as a maintainer I can tell you switching planes always causes MC rates to go down. Pilots and Maintainers have to gain knowledge on the systems that often you just cant cover in conversion training. Sure you go over main systems but then you have to get down to the nitty gritty of where minor parts are how to…

People keep reposting shit like this...I want to know where it came from. Because it’s fraudulent. There is nothing about the STOVL system that requires the F-35’s layout. The layout was dictated by A) Range B) Stealth C) Cost, in that order.

Yes, a truly remarkable show of U.S. Navy might. But as impressive show of force the combined Ranger Battle Group and the USS Missouri (BB-63) Surface Action Group (SAG) was, there was absence of what would soon become crucial naval assets in that theatre of operation: minesweepers and SEAL Mark III Patrol Boats.

Send a cease and desist to the king of Qatar? Not bloody likely. Those Arabs are probably their biggest customers... and now that London is sick of their shit, they’re going to LA with their money to cause a rukus.

These aren’t “rich kids” these are oil money shitheads vacationing from their Sharia Law fuckholes.

Lol, first thing I thought. Why are they blocking out the plate number, like “yellow laferrari owner” is a long list.

Ferrari would go bankrupt if they get rid of this level of clientele.

This would probably be one of the few valid reasons for Ferrari to do that.

Also, it looks like school just got out and there are kids around the street... What a dick, certainly shouldn’t be driving.

Hey...what do you know; a typical Republican “I have the biggest dick in the room” love story of big spending on useless weapons. Since this is a car site, how about there being a post about securing funding to make sure this country’s highway system isn’t pockmarked like a middle school kid’s face.
