Fake emissions are bad enough but when you hear about car fires and cases of some Volkswagens losing power resulting in crashes you have to wonder what's going on. Volkswagen are recalling affected car models in Australia but that's not much consolation to those who have been injured.Helen V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07989670682260643429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-70124719218072734842017-05-13T08:26:45.002-04:002017-05-13T08:26:45.002-04:00I'm surprised you can't eat corn Ivy.

As for the book, there are many readers on Goodreads who read the entire book and had the same opinion as I did after 50 pages.

There's lots of car stories in the news these days - with them false information about emissions it's going to do a lot of damage to sales as well as all these faults. I hope the alarms stop going off soon.
