Holy $#!T!!!! Dr. Diesel's risen from the abyss to get his revenge! Imagine
this clattering, stinking POS parked in the next shipyard. The smell alone
would be enough to exterminate 100 species a day!

Now, how you going to stuff that thing into a VW Golf, huh? (Maybe there's a
Fiat out there that needs a new engine...most of ;'em do, anyway.)

Diesels are for *******!

It's been waiting for the VW rep to sign off on more Goodwill repairs. As we
used to say at VW: "So many design flaws, so little money."
