I should probably mention how deeply we appreciate the many electronic mail comments received the past few weeks in support of our efforts. But I must confess a bit of guilt from them.

As-salamu alaykum. Peace be Upon You. In the current hysteria over ISIS and Donald Trump and San Bernadino, we thought it usefully irreverent to announce the new radicalized EVTV.

  Volkswagen AG shares opened down 20% this morning after last Friday’s shocking EPA letter/press release announcing an EPA recall of 482,000 “clean” diesel TDI engined vehicles manufatured between 2009 and 2015.
