This n’ that...It’s kind of shocking, the
state of auto makers these days. GM
has the ignition switch issue. Seems that
at least 124 deaths have been caused
by this switch. But it depends on who
is doing the figuring. If you’re GM, the
deaths only count if the switch caused a
crash that can be directly linked to killing
the driver. If the switch caused the car’s
engine to quit and the driver’s loss of
control caused the car to go into a ditch,
and the two passengers were killed
because the airbags didn’t deploy, well,
that’s 1 for the switch and 2 for the airbags. Worldwide, this is 30 million cars. And speaking of those airbags that
didn’t work, there are 30 million vehicles
in the US that are being recalled, over
several brands of cars. And an additional
7 million cars in other less safe countries
where the rules don’t require airbags.
And how about those folks at Volkswagen, the world’s biggest car company?
They came up with software for their
diesel cars that detect when a car is
being smog tested...and turn the smog
systems on. When the car’s off the test
rack, the smog system is turned off und
Gott in Himmil! Vee have zee power!
Along with 40% more pollution than VW
said the diesel produces. As you know,
this was not some accidental goof in
engineering. This was done on purpose, to mislead buyers and state and
federal agencies. Affected cars in the
US? About 480 thou. Worldwide? We’re
talking 11 million vehicles. If they were
Japanese, they’d commit suicide.
And over at Tesla, which has hemorrhaged money since day 1, a new
e- SUV has been announced. The Type
X, with “falcon doors” at the rear. Kinda
gullwing-like, only more like a falcon, I
guess. Anyhoo, if ya want to buy one of
these babies, you’ll pony up probably
100 large. But the Feds will give you a
$7500 tax incentive, and here in loopy
California, you get another 2500 bucks.
But wait! There’s more! There’s an IRS
law that states if a vehicle weighs more
than 6000 pounds, it qualifies for a $25
thousand, yes, that’s THOUSAND,
dollar tax credit. This was supposed
to incentivize farmers to upgrade their
equipment. Now you know why you saw
so many of those Hummers from GM.
But I have a fix for this mess: VW
should buy Tesla, thereby getting them
out of the red. They should then rebadge the Model X into VW’’s and offer
them as an up-trade to US diesel owners, who keep the $35k. The rest, they
export to countries that don’t require
airbags
And GM? Who cares?

Car show madness!!!
OCT 2015
Mopar Club of San Diego Monthly
Meeting Sept 9 Yeah, our big event,
The All-American Car Show XVII,
was held in a record rainstorm in July.
Who would have thought? Anyway,
only 50 or so cars that were pre-reg’d
failed to show up, leaving a sizable
field of very nice cars. Their owners
supported our raffle, and with the prereg entry fee checks in the bank, we
were able to award Homefront of San
Diego and USO of San Diego $4500 L to R: Bobby Woods, USO; Mary Ann Tanner,
each. It must be noted, however, that HomeFront; and Jeff Walker, our Prez
a lot of the money that was raised due to Clubmembers efforts: entering a car(s),
Clubmembers contributing 20 bucks or a raffle prize of equal value, and our auction of stuff from plants to baked goods at the past three or four meetings. A special tip of the Mopar Club cap top
Joe Bourdage, who seems to buy
most of the baked goods. And this
year, Prez Jeff Walker suggested
an additional $500 be donated each
to the Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station and Wounded Warrior
Homes, both of San Diego.
Yeah, our car show is a lot of
work. But don’t these donations
make you feel good?
