I thought I read something about Porsche owing patent royalties to a Czech car manufacturer and that helped spur the invasion. Any truth?

I've already seen a discussion on how to save the current VW engine software, get the car fixed in the (apparent) upcoming recall, test drive the new software and see if it impacts drive-ability or mileage too much, and if desired, put the old software back.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I think it's time to reiterate that you google terms from vorlon's posts at your own peril.

Just sayin'.
