This makes me genuinely sad. Despite the fact that I love the Viper, I never had the intention of ever buying one. Even if I could afford it. That’s pretty much the problem though, isn’t it?

So, owning that type of car turns you into a screaming, homicidal lunatic?

Sure, the person posting the notes is a jerk, but is probably not doing anything illegal. Responding with violence would make you the asshole in that situation and you should expect to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Best to just remain an internet tough guy than to act out your violent revenge…

Hey tough guy... Don’t forget: thumb goes on the outside.

“...stop being an ignorant blowhard”

Calm down bro, it’s not that serious.

Anger issues here?

We’re all scared of your prowess. All of us.

Wow you’re saying you’d spend the rest of your life in prison because someone left a satirical note on your car? How about you tone it down a bit psycho.

I just made this particular one. Good, or not harsh enough?

Fast and the Furious: Arbor Day lol

Do you know that, believe it or not, there are sometimes, somewhere even more unbelievable objects next to the road?

Sadly, you’re correct on this one. It’s a shame it happened. It’s a shame we don’t take responsibility for our actions too.

That tree there, who planted it, who thought it was good idea to put a tree next to a road ? That person is responsible for the death of Sir Paul Walker.

Yeah, I hope a judge dismisses this case in one second. It’s not like the Porsche made the driver go 40+ over the speed limit. And any vehicle going that speed hitting an object will look like a crumpled soda can.

How about some executive jail time?

Seems to me they already have the solution: Make the cars permanently enter that emissions test mode. I’m sure it’s a reduction in power, but that will likely be the only effect, aside from maybe more crud that needs periodic cleaning due to cooler burn temps.

Let me start this off by saying I am a huge supporter of cleaning up emissions in general, though not at all costs, but it really shows how fucked up our priorities as a nation are if you get a bigger fine for lying to the feds than for killing people. Again, it is ridiculous that VW did this and it was a terrible…

I drive a Prius. Does this negate every single “shoulda bought a diesel bro” comment on Jalopnik I’ve been forced to read over the past 10 years?

I say mandatory buy back at original sticker price for every vw tdi, the max fine and all the cars crushed.
