I think the real intent is to stop stupid companies named WrextXtremeSportTune420 from selling shit to idiots that can quickly modify/un-modify their cars to get around pollution regs, while the company can just say ‘well we said its for race use only!!’. For every 1 guy that wants to buy a cat-free sports exhaust or…

Can’t you just go to Phone -> Recents and then tap the “i” on the FaceTime video/audio call and see how much data was used?

Don’t forget the “help poor people buy autonomous cars to erase the ‘autonomy divide’ and level the playing field” programs that will inevitably be part of it.

I don’t know if they’re taking the approach that, “maybe if we ignore it, it’ll go away,” or if VW is just being a bunch of jerks, but no matter what, the longer it takes, the worse it is for them.

Jason, not sure if its your jam but I did a little write-up about the different types of tires for use in the cold wet stuff and a sort of decision guide for which one to use. Might be worth a read

Let’s just address the elephant in the room here: those trikes.

That IS sad! My greatest happiness comes from the fact that I have a husband who loves me for the “poor” person I was when we married. I pity any single person who wins this jackpot alone, because that person will NEVER KNOW if someone loves him/her for the money, or not.

could be; or it does currently but can’t be pushed up to power/torque levels competitive with the Ram Ecodiesel. *shrug* I’ve driven a couple of 3.2 Transits, seems like a perfectly cromulent engine.

Try saying that when they do it to you intentionally because they apparently felt threatened by your top down Miata being next to them. At that point, it’s more than a little annoying and probably not great for your lungs.

Hank Hill would have never modified his truck in an illegal manner. He’d probably clean his exhaust regularly with a wire brush to make sure it never had visible soot in/on it, if it were a diesel.

It’s just an excuse. If VW didn’t tolerate failure then why do their cars have major reliability issues?

Go try to trade in or sell a TDI. Then you’ll understand our frustration. We paid a premium for a vehicle that was known to have high resale value. Now it is the exact opposite.

How about something ridiculously classic like a Model T or something? Would that be too expensive? It surely wouldn’t depreciate.

and where the hell is my bribe money check. No, it doesn’t matter that it’s only been 3.5 weeks and they said 4-6 weeks. Rabble rabble.

A 10 year bumper to bumper warranty on its own products could very well bankrupt Volkswagen.

The dreams of not going to a class the entire semester and then having to take a final never stop. I’m 15 years out and still get them regularly. It’s usually an English class. Since I have degrees in both computer science and mechanical engineering, I placed little value on the required English classes, that I often…

Due to the sheer number of Delta Air Lines flights at Atlanta, they say DIXIE for D to avoid confusion. "Delta" is even avoided by the train that moves passengers between concourses; it says "Concourse D, as in David"

Here's a PDF of ATL.
