Well that’s an unfortunate number for something like that…
Especually with it being VW
Tja
Sad to hear that, we just bought a used VW ID.4, goddam it’s a nice ride! 👍 😀
In Denmark VW group totally dominate the top most sold cars with 7 cars in the top 10, and it is well deserved IMO.! Pedantry alert !
Wouldn’t this imply that “gearing down” is a more apt choice of words? I mean, you downshift in preparation for slower speeds… Kinda in the same way you wouldn’t say “The sound of the starting gun heralds the factory closure”
You could also downshift to quickly increase speed in some cases, like when you’re overtaking another car on a two lane road.
“Gear up” in this context is like, “get the necessary equipment,” in other words, “get prepared.” Definitely missed pun opportunity though.
Stay the course for black sludge! It’ll make us rich beyond our wildest dreams!
I’m betting 3 hairs on my ass that the German government is going to bail out VW, stay the course for polluting engines, and tank the economy for the next 20 years. (And of course blame “immigrants”)
