3. It takes energy to make those replacement parts that will eventually go on that vehicle.
Einsteins

There are a shitload of old diesel Mercedes that spew black and gray shit out of their tailpipes. This can't be too good for the environment.

4. I don't think that a note reading "For the enviro" necessarily proves an environmentalist did this.
If simply means the vandals put a note on the car making people believe that an environmentalist did it.

6. Actually, if I were on that jury, I would HANG it.
This guy buys this "vehicle" like the BIG REPUKE PIG ON THE BLOCK, leaves it ON THE STREET FOR FIVE NIGHTS...

I don't condone the action, but does it surprise me, or move me to empathy for this man?

NOPE.
