Yep, execs don't mind tossing money around in their defense or small paying fines, but no one wants to go to jail over a seat spring.

jesus... they didn't start you off with something small huh?

Neutral: Would You Buy A Safer, But Less Interesting Car?

Nice push bars... soft nose much?

Rough month for Volkswagen, again, as they're down 3% year-over-year. A great month for Audi, up 8% to 13,253 cars. In the VW Group everyone but VW did better, including a 36% rise for Bentley (to 280 total cars).

Ok... so if we are 'lucky' we might eliminate some percentage of 210 incidents of natural selection. What a joke.

If tire wear is an issue the have the option to mitigate the tire wear by backing off those values. Let's not jump all over Goodyear or Auto Club Speedway because there were plenty of…

Let's analyze this video. The intrepid (maybe Australian, maybe American) Nissan S14 driver gets his car ready, turns the key, and the whole thing goes up in flames. The guy sits there for a little bit, then runs out, and then, oddly, turns off the camera.

Ok, lower the price of the i8 to $20K and I'm sure you can move that many.

so i would add this pretty handy read which came out about a year after the initial media storm...

Normal bad, Toyota bad? How bad?

what if you use a hammer?
