#2 They should have left the words "while cute" out. They are just trying to get VW into more trouble. That's fine with me.

#3 Looks like it was cut with scissors, so 4 to a page?

What I'm getting at is a premeditated harassment, that somebody took the time to select the font, ponder a color scheme, and find an emblem then arrange it all in a way to fully utilize a Letter sized paper, then cut them out.

But I suppose VW beetles and vans are okaydokee.

#4 This isn't about getting VW in trouble, it is nosy neighbor shaming, at best, its most innocent.

I'm sure when the vehicle was purchased this whole emissions deal was not proven, concern trolling innocent people. And what is the owner supposed to do, junk a new car and go buy another - ridiculous even in the aspect sphere of environmentalism.

#5 But it makes the VW owner feel bad, and the lefty feel good. Isn't that the idea?

#6 So you buy a TDI because it gets incredible gas mileage and are a good lefty in that regard and then you are a villain when it turns out you were lied to because your car now sends out particulates the way cars in the 90s did?

We need a thunderdome to put lefties in two at a time and let them hash out their issues (Pay-per-view of course).

#7 Obama lies. VW lies. Does the Left treat the lies the same. Or are we dealing with the refusal of the VW workers to accept unionization and the never ending Party dues?

#8 VWs are so Sixties. These days you gotta have Prius...Obama bumper sticker is optional but if you really wanna be cool you better get one of them too.

#9 The one thing about the Prius, they've created a high status car at half the price of previous high status cars (Luxury and Sports models). Sure it's far more expensive than most other cars but status has it's price you know.

#10 "The neighbors go green when they see us
Out tooling around in our Prius.
A wonderful world
Would be swiftly unfurled
If the rest of you rednecks could be us!"

#11 Smug Alert!

#12 If the VW owner wants revenge he should refuse the recall and keep on driving.

#13 SO... remember a while back when I said that the government was trying to ban fuel-efficient diesel engines?

I've only been trying to point this out for about a decade....
