Images reveal a vast car graveyard where thousands of VWs cars are being stored in the California desert

Concerns over nitrogen dioxide emissions have grown since Volkswagen was found in September 2015 to have cheated air pollution tests for 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide

VW was eventually forced to buy back 350,000 cars for $7.4 billion over the dieselgate scandal

German automaker has been forced to get creative when it comes to storing the cars, such as a shuttered Detroit football stadium, a former Minnesota paper mill and the desert site near Victorville, California

VW spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan insisted the desert site is one of many 'to ensure the responsible storage of vehicles that are bought back under the terms of the Volkswagen's diesel settlements'

Actually, those were/are great vehicles; both my brother and a friend have them and just rave about how good they are.

Those diesel VWs remind me of that old song by Roy Clark, "Thank God And Greyhound." ;)
