So if the car were locked and running would that have been ok? This is a dick move on the cop’s part. Public safety my ass.

I’ve tried watching a few of that kid’s videos. Nothing really to see. Awkward rich kid calls himself an entrepreneur and buys cars with dad’s money, makes a hundred kinda cringey vids where he says “you guys” a lot, creates a channel for other bored kids who oggle cars to listen to him ramble nothing of substance…

I grew up driving New England winters with plenty of snow, sleet, and icy roads. The difference I find in CA vs. MA is that in MA they have fleets of plows and salting and sanding trucks that generally keep the roads clear except in the most extreme accumulation. Besides the road into North Adams, Massachusetts…

I will never understand how they decided it was a good idea to install Chris Evans. I’d rather watch turtles mate. At least then I’d be less squeamish.

... or anywhere in Latin America. Driving a day in Lima, Peru will give you black lung.

Ummm, let me think. No. I will not “admit” something that is not true.

Only temporarily. It’s not a settled matter.

That’s an excellent idea!

On the plus side, when VW refuses to take this back, he’ll have a fun toy to hoon.

Farfegnugen meets Schadenfreude. Get your wrenches back out, Joe. You’ve got some work to do.

That gold-plated plane can’t be everywhere. It sounds like they had a large group, and maybe they were flying last-minute and couldn’t get tickets for everyone in either first or on a private charter. I don’t think she’d fly cattle-class unless it was her last possible option. This idiot’s actions will only reinforce…

This is how thieves rationalize their actions. Owners are already being paid ample sums of money for the take-backs, often as much as double what the car’s resale value was ~before~ the scandal broke. Stripping the car is unethical, to say the least.

Joe’s going to get what he deserves. This is theft, and VW’s lawyers will have no problem getting a judge to agree with them. I hope his claim is voided.

I read this as “Omarosa Doll” and was much happier.

Signature BMW 3 colors = BMW Motorsport

Can I do the opposite and tell of a he’s-so-nice interaction? I was on the way home from Burning Man a few years ago when I stopped for food at the first In-N-Out on the way to Reno. I was with 5 friends. Some of us had gotten our food and were seated. I looked up from my fries—which tasted amaaaazing after a week in…

Yep. you don’t put that much work into a car then dump it 100 miles later. Buyer beware.

Even in excellent  condition, this is CP by at least $4k in excess price.

No, I’m not of that at all. That would be one of the other checks and balances. Nothing to touch there.
