BBbbbbbbbut, this is “progressive europe.” We are supposed to be more like them in every way! Its just another load of bullcrap. And may not have even happened to the extent they say it did. Hell, its probably an organized campaign (probably by the enviroweenies) to get rid of the race...its happened before.

The problem is more that these companies arent being allowed to build more substantial power grids due to enviroweenies complaining and NIMBYS putting up legal challenges to new power lines. Have the same problem in Northern Virginia where power-hungry data center growth is off the charts, and lots of new…
This is what happens when you rely too heavily on wind and solar trying to be “green” to be politically correct fir a problem that doesnt really exist. It also doesnt help when you have leftists not wanting new power lines installed in their backyards to support all the growth. Sri Lanka is a prime example of when…
Now if they’d only stick a proper gas engine in it, maybe they’d have something! Even the hybrid system from the Volt would be a vast improvement.
They are only back until new A350s and B777s are delivered. The airlines dont have enough planes for the routes as they retired so many old birds during the coof.
The 380 per passenger mile was terrible. The 747-8 was more efficient on longer routes. The economics never made sense.
Wrong. The A380 is still dead. A few are being brought back online to fill a gap that late forthcoming deliveries of A350s or B777s caused. As soon as those new planes are delivered, its back to the boneyard for the 380. The economics are just horrible. They’d be better off bringing back the 747 400. Emirates is now co…
You know this excuse is 100% bullshit, don’t you? This livery is very similar to an old British Airways livery, and other liveries of US Airways, Quantas, United, and to a lesser extent, Delta. All on 747s, too. Hell, Air new Zealand has a BLACK plane. No special cooling required.
Im sure the enviroweenies and outright comminusts there at Jalopnik are celebrating the high gas prices. This was by design, folks. This is what you get for voting progressive or democrat. We have tons of oil,here in the US, but senile Joe wants to get it from the Saudis, Iran or even commie venezuela. Which is garbage…
Fender? You do realize VW just bought the badging.
It was an interesting car at the time. Why would you not think somebody would collect one, particularly since it was thr NASCAR body at the time. Lot of mundane cars get preserved, and this is a bit more special than most of the era. The color is even of its day. Not my cup of tea, but look at how many Edsels are…
If you don’t have capital, it makes it much harder to get more capital.
Bring back comfort. Softer seats and suspensions that actually soak up minor road bumps. Thicker sidewall tires, too. We all dont want German levels of driving discomfort.
Well, the entire vehicle is being destoyed. Its being carefully recycled, too. Im suprised GM didnt strip them themselves for spares inventory.
RUN dude, run! You’ve made a very bad career move. You bought a ticket on the titanic. Unless you can reign in the car-hating communist petulent children left “writing” there, and because they are Union, you won’t be able to, then nothing at all will change. The owners dont seem to care, the upper management doesnt…

Just a load of ignorant shit. Embrace the event, make money off of it for local businesses (set up a street festival). Work with the event and your local businesses can make a crapload. I dont live far from a highschool football stadium. Its a few weeks of noise in the fall. The Navy put on an airshow every year with…
If you get a hole in the sidewall, its towtruck time. Spares are indespensible. For the negligible mileage gain, its not worth going without one. Ive bought them for my new cars.
Well, duh! I’ve kept a portable compressor in my trunk for 30 YEARS! Same one I still use today. Its pretty sad when this becomes an “oh wow” post on an automotive website. More pathetic, really.
Many foreign automakers send non-US models to the ﹰUS for corporate evaluation of market suitability, autoshow display, or for testing. I’ve seen a few non US VWs around DC as their US headquarters is just outside the beltway in Northern Virginia. May have also been a diplomatic vehicle if it were private.
