This one hits close to home, literally, the offending vehicles were lots of them assembled just up the road from here in Chattanooga.
Here's where my imagination kicks into gear. So, let's say I'm a tree hugger and I buy one of those VW diesels because they are so fuel efficient and environment friendly and I'm saving the environment.
VW makes some cars that will actually run, I mean RUN. A VW hatchback blew Red's doors off at Road Atlanta, lapped us in fact. I don't think that car was very fuel efficient.
But let's say we got the diesel and we're tooling along thinking we're doing the very best thing for the environment and all of a sudden we discover that it's all a lie, we're polluting just as much or more than anybody. If I'm a tree hugger, yes, I'll be REAL pissed off about that. If I was a tree hugger.
So, here's the thing, VW is trying to fix it with money because they are being forced to. That's all they can do to save face. Yep, they lied.
