After VW was outed for falsifying environmental data in its cars hundreds of thousand of VW vehicles were taken off the road now sitting in storage sites. Hundreds of thousands of cars now lie in lots in the Mojave Desert, a shuttered suburban Detroit football stadium, and a former Minnesota paper mill in America alone. These vehicles are now in the open slowly breaking down with pollutants entering the environment. Is the the modern cost of corporate greed? What can we do to ensure this never happens again?

Hello VW. This is terrible and dumping these cars just makes a big mistake even bigger. However I offer a solution, inspired by a recent move made by a little British car company you may have heard of - Aston Martin. They are offering current owners a rebuild to EV. So... fill it in yourselves, you have braincells, right? .......

Guessing you didn't check the price of that Aston-Martin EV conversion, did you? It's many times the original price of any of the polluting VW cars.
