gawd...if Marshawn could run behind THAT we’d have a bazillion to zero w/l record. K.J. Wright is a grown-ass man but Collins makes it look like he’s blocking high school kids.

I am not a pilot, so this may be a dumb question, but once the Dynamic pilot was told his engine was leaking fluid, shouldn't he have shut the engine down right away?

Yes...on the scene with his gun. And now you’ve crashed into his car.

They ain’t got the message. Like their U.S. head, Michael Horn, claiming it was rogue software engineers. He should be fired along with the PR or lawyer who convinced him to say that crap. When Google hoovered IP addresses, their “rogue engineer” story was almost plausible: Engineers are geeks and love having lots of…

Did they ever receive EPA approval for the 2016 “compliant” versions?

I agree. There’s another problem, though, with mileage testing. A rule allows mfrs to use results for one car to be applied to another. This rule was intended to accommodate the old bad “badge engineering” days, when there was little difference between a Monte Carlo or an Olds Cutlass, or the Ford Pinto or Mercury…

Uh, that’s because the Democrats have never shut down the government. Hard to “balance” the story when it’s the same party acting as the fuckwit each time.

Um, somehow people are affected by ambient air pollution without sticking their noses up tailpipes. So I do not understand your point.

Honda was able to do it ( supposedly....). Seriously, I have more confidence in Honda’s engineers than VW’s.

In addition to tampering, it is ALWAYS a bad idea to lie to the feds. They get very touchy about that sort of thing. We know.

Done: You’re selfish.

Theoretically possible this causes more death, or is harmful to asthma sufferers. This was a slimy, slimy move (as was the GM cf.)

Thanks for your solicitousness of your fellow atmosphere breathers.

Awesome! Many years ago (1975), my family happened to do a road trip through Virginia City, Nevada. Just outside of town were some road races. The parking lot was full of Ferraris, Lotuses, McLarens, etc. Very magical.

A friend who lives in London confirms that supercars of the oil czars’ progeny import their cars for the summer (too hot in Kuwait) and race up and down the streets. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2…

The Audi 5000 started it. Then the original A6 and A4. When the 2d gen A6 and 1st gen A8 appeared, the transformation was essentially complete.

That is freakin cool. The battery on my old 5 series would die if you even thought about turning on a frickin reading light. Why the heck don’t more cars do that? It couldn’t cost too much.

What a great story, huh? I got choked up reading it.
