What a joke. Good luck because Apple’s lawyers will bury them on this case.

You could make the same arguement against navigation systems, Google Maps, Waze, Snap Chat, Pokemon Go, and even video recording on most cell phones in general. And of those apps that have warnings for using while the vehicle is moving, most…

Agreed. I will definitely pitch in some money again if they start a second GoFundMe. I’m really glad that the first one helped him so much, and that he may put some of that towards his 67 Chevy now too.

If they lose the appeal and this is finally put to rest someone on the east coast should organize a “Jalopnik Burnout Festival” in front of their house. Try and gather as many car enthusiasts as possible and take over the road and do burn outs, rev engines, and crank stereos.

100% agree. When I was watching the video on the original story and they zoomed out to show that he was in a wheel chair, my heart just sank. Fuck these nosey cunts that have nothing better to do but make someone else’s life miserable and try to snuff out their happiness. Working on cars is probably one of the very…

Honestly they are pretty cool cars. I would take one of the woody wagons for sure. In a wierd way I almost feel like the regular ones kind of have a “lead sled” feel to them. I saw one in Detroit years ago that had baby moon wheels and a raspy exhaust and I loved it. I would go a step futher with it and throw on…

This is FKing insane! Maybe Stephen King should remake Christine and have the car be one of these!

Reminds me of what happened in Indiana a few years ago. A cop decided to get a license plate that said “OINK” for his personal car as a joke about his own profession and the state DMV revoked the plate. So he petitioned the ACLU to take up his case and sue on grounds of Freedom of Speech. They shut down the whole…

You have to wonder if some of these people are keeping the last of the species from going extinct!

Yes, I am speaking entirely in theoretical scenarios here that are probably unlikely to occur as a reprocusion for Mr. Mayor’s actions, but they could.

My consistent opinion (and judging by the ire of many others) is that he should have turned in is car quietly, accepted the generous compensation from VW, and moved…

Torch you have truly outdone yourself this time! I had a hard time not bursting out laughing at my desk.

This is certainly one of the strangest car collections I have seen though.

I witnessed an almost equally weird one in Wisconsin years ago. I can’t find anything on google, but it looks like may have been a…

Fair enough. I will agree with you that “deception” may be better in this sense, but it’s not exactly what this is either. He’s not hiding the fact that he stripped the car. Ultimately he’s challenging the language of the contract, and he’s not abiding by the good faith terms of it either.

This isn’t fraud like…

VW is paying him more than enough to compensate him for the hassle though. Again, if the settlement was only for half the value of the car, or worse set a manditory fix that reduced mpg and hp and a few grand for the trouble then he would have every right to be petty and vindictive like this.

If you take Steve…

Appropriate “White Privilage” comments aside, let’s remember that they are also human and can be fair and helpful too.

I had a roughly 3 hour drive from Grand Rapids, MI to Detroit for an interview once. About 1.5 hrs in just outside of Lansing I got a flat tire on my flaming Piece of Shit Mercury Tracer station wagon…

Might as well. This dipshit is probably going to practically owe VW by the time they are done with him if he decides to lawyer up and take this to court.

THANK YOU! This should be the end of the damn discussion too.

He’s an asshole becuase he’s exploiting a loop hole with vague langauge that was most likely intentionally left vague as a goodwill gesture so that VW couldn’t, and wouldn’t turn cars away for mechanical issues, modifications that would have traditionally voided the warranty (i.e. a Malone Stage 2 tune), excessive…

Too bad they can’t drive it to Ocean City, MD and make it happen for sure.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I don’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy for this idiot and I think he deserves having this rejected. Yes it’s a pain in the ass that you had to fill out all of this paperwork and wait for the delays of getting paid out. But it doesn’t justify stupidity like this. Most…

Well said. I would agree that the VC90 is probably the closest predecessor to the classic PASW in terms of size and useful interior volume. I’d take one in a heartbeat, but I’m not spending $55K on one.

I’m probably going to pony up for the Golf Sport Wagen when they start selling the 4 motion version. I’ve read…
