Anyone have details on the recall? Did customers get back every penny they paid on thier recalled cars?

I have no clue regarding any settlements, but why should customers get every penny back? Or are you exaggerating again?

Nope. They should get back what they paid. They were cheated. Why should they take a lose? Ask anyone that has had a new car wrecked how they felt about the settlement. Chances are they lost thousands of dollars often due to someone else's negligence. That isn't right.

They made money on what the car was worth usually. We had a few guys at work go for the buyback.

An Orangeburg man is accused of breaking into a neighbor’s home while armed a rifle. He says he was only running from the midgets, according to an incident report.
...
Lollar told deputies that he was at his residence “drinking and smoking with two midgets, male and a female,” a sheriff’s office incident report states.

He told deputies he didn’t know the pair, but claimed they were contractors his mother hired.

He said they reminded him of “the dwarves from the movie Lord of the Rings.”

Lollar alleged the “midgets became upset with him and pulled two .22-caliber rifles out” so he fled from them.

 

Ah. So the unharmed are getting rich from the harmed.

Government administered justice at its finest.

Which is why I have zero problems with VW getting hammered down to the bone. VW was the enabler of this predictable old shell game.

 

VW was the enabler...

You are missing the fundamentals.

I say the EPA never had a right to tell VW how to build cars.

I say you lost that argument a long time ago and rightly so.

I Blame Nixon.

In related news, the top 1% now own more wealth than at any time in the last 50 years.

Remarkably, they all seem to work for the government.

Funny how that works out.

The government has no right to force me to pay taxes either so what is your point?

Unfortunately it does. It's called the 16th Amendment to the Constitution:

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

 

And now for something weird:

@DickCappels "liked' one of my marginally political posts as opposed to summarily deleting it.

The U.S. Constitution is the finest document created by mankind. I live in a country in which the constitution is re-written after every coup or election. Thank you for making a reference to it.

 

Thank you for making a reference to it.

You're welcome.

Except that I referenced one of the more bastardized elements of it.

 

Unfortunately it does. It's called the 16th Amendment to the Constitution:

And there are many that will argue that the 16th amendment was never legally ratified.

As much as I dislike it -- and the individual-freedom-sucking nature of it -- I wouldn't be one of those.

Free people are free to commit societal suicide.

The customer should have retaliated. The customer is always right.
