Hondas are for fegs. At least you could own a decent import... like a Nissan or a Toyota.

And, I understand where Ford is coming from... but, forums are meant to congregate people for a common purpose.

And honestly, no matter how much you want to jest, those forums have a lot of information for DIYers and the like.

The more information about a product, the more someone will want to buy said product. A lot of Mustang Forums are promoting the 2010 Mustang... so the little money the forum owners make is shadowed by how much money the forum is generating for both the publicity of Ford, and for that specific model of car.

Yep that couple of hundred dollars in revenue that guy makes on those shirts is going to directly prop up ford's ailing financial issues.

Well, that's their bad then.I don't think this is the best time to address that (for Ford, at least.)

They should wait when they're not in the shitter financially. But, I guess timing isn't their strong point.

Every company has legal teams who deal with copyright and counterfeiting. Ford's and any other company have been doing this for decades. It's just getting attention because of the shape the company is in. This is normal procedure for any company.

I hate this line of thinking. You probably think it's all right to steal a $15 CD from Walmart because they are such a large corporation and can afford the loss. They are stealing Ford's trademarks and making a profit on them. It's wrong no matter how little Ford benefits from it.

Honestly, most Hondas blow... but the RSX, TL, and G2 Integras are bawlin'. (So, I guess Acura > Honda //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imo.gif.3a57bcc70a4835dc53e86ffae1a0b041.gif)

I suppose you're right. I don't know much about corporations and legal teams.

You make no sense, if this was an issue, Ford would have done something a long time ago. Maybe like when it first started, but now that Ford is hurting for money, their going to try to get as much money as they can because they screwed up.
I hope Ford fails, crap like this makes me happy to own a import.

The **** are you talking about. Did you think about that before you started typing or did you just let your brain puke on your keyboard?

Actually, Ford is trying to stop the counterfeiting of their corporate logo.

Oh cute. The forum is breaking the law.

You have no problem with owning pirated mp3's. They are copyrighted materials yet im sure you have plenty mp3's in your possession. Perhaps you should write a check out to the RIAA right now?

haha i own a 05' rsx-s, and if honda did not make acura, then acura would pwnt honda. like all other imports, nissan = infinity and toyota = lexus.

at the end, if you own a infinity, you really own a nissan lol. acura, infinity and lexus is a luxury name for the rich folks. i can care less, my car is pimp and thats about it.

I never said I don't steal. In fact, my computer is run on a pirated OS system, but I'm not going to sit here and ***** if any of the artist or companies try to do something about it.
