Every time I go to the local junkyard, I see them crushing ‘09-’14 VW’s that are perfectly good, other that they make more NOX than the stupid Clinton admin regs allow (they still make less NOX than an ‘07 VW’s).
They actually drive the cars off the truck to the crusher, take the tires off, the battery out, suck out the Diesel, and crush it.
Sucks for Germany, but you do stupid shit, you pay for it.
Siding with the people who buy your product over regulators with double digit IQs doesn’t normally qualify as stupid.
