The two UCC references they list:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/1/1-201#1-201b37

"Signed" includes using any symbol executed or adopted with present intention to adopt or accept a writing.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/1/1-304

§ 1-304. Obligation of Good Faith.

Every contract or duty within the Uniform Commercial Code imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance and enforcement.

From what I can understand of this mess, they're trying to buy a car, or otherwise enter a contract of some sort with Volkswagen. I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure sections like § 1-304 only mean after you enter a contract, you're obligated to uphold it. If someone doesn't want to enter into a contract with you because they don't like the way you write your signature, it's their right to tell you to get bent.

This is correct. And they think doing the UCC means that Volkswagen will bill the secret trust the government holds in your name.

I love that they think you can force someone to sign a legal contract.
