Followers

Has been in jail since June

Today, the supervisory board of the Volkswagen Group was planning to make a decision as to the future of Audi CEO Rupert Stadler. Since June, Stadler has been in jail over concerns of evidence tampering with the diesel emission scandal. But a decision could not be reached and the decision has been postponed.

Sources tell Automotive News that representatives for Stadler and Volkswagen's board were unable to to negotiate a solution that would see Stadler step down as Audi CEO. No reason was given as to why an agreement could not be reached.

Bram Schot, Audi sales executive has been acting as interim CEO.

? He broke the law, tried to cover it up. Why can they just not fire him?

Any other person would get fired for breaking company rules, yet executives get rewarded. I just do not get it.

Can anyone imagine being in coach for 22hrs.

Can you believe it's been 25 years?

The V4 -> V5 upgrade has been complete. I'll be spending the next week or two cleaning up some things.

Because why would you want to take a multi port fuel injected car and turn it into a carbed car? Also, it's a ton of work (if you even can make the thing fit under the hood) for not a lot of gain, and you're still having to run it through the 4-speed 4T80-E. There are other Northstar mods out there that will get better bang for the buck.
