Cheaters should be penalized heavily.

I wonder how many of them are Christians?

We are called to a higher calling but, the world tells us something different.

I watched a documentary on the VW scandal a few months ago. I used to drive an older TDI and my mom still has it, but apparently the auto industry in Europe has been lying for a long time about the environmental impact of the newer diesels, and the regulators have had somewhat of a "don't look this way" attitude because the auto industry is so important in Germany.
