FEH!! RC will never hear from the Goon Squad again. Its all a scam being put on by Corporate America to enforce the illusion that the average Joe is under their thumb...unfortunatley they picked on the wrong Joe this time :fist:

Hmmm. Make sure you're not being scammed. It may seem obvious who you're dealing with but it may also not be who you think you're dealing with. Maybe you can try also try this defense.

There were these hackers that basically claimed that they shouldn't be prosecuted because there is no way to tell that they were the actual hackers. Pretty much blamed everything on the computer. Just a thought.

I hope everything works out. Good luck.

You should track them down, knock on their door at 6:30 AM next Sunday, and ask them to use their toilet so you can show them what you think of their threats.

that could have been any employee with access to Centernet (online resource center for sales and service) it had been posted on the Centernet site about 2 weeks ago, but it was in german.

i don't think BMW really cares all that much since their cars are always spotted on the NS. Once the spy covers are removed, it's pretty much the final product. They might clean up a line here or there but what you see in the vidz and pic from the NS is baisically what you're going to get.

When the Z4 came out, all the US training centers got 1 or 2 of them as trainers but since they were pre-production and hadn't been officially unveiled (i got to work on the SMG and 6spd while i was in training, both were prepro and we had a problem getting parts AND accurate wiring diagrams) It hadn't been spotted in testing without it's covers so BMW was realy serious about making them keep ther cars covered at all times when they were parked outside. but once the pics came out, the covers no longer had to be put on.

i think GM should just stick to giving cars away on operah and not internet leaks!

it's not like it's going to cause the loss of sales, or there compeditors are going to get inside to make better cars.. there compeditors alredy make better cars

LOL, i cant believe the cheek of GM to do this, as you said RC an Email, a Headed Letter > fair enuff, but a couple of goons. That is just fucking ridiculous. I hope you give em what they deserve. And IMO the pictures in question could be seen as 'artists impressions' maybee that someone knocked up after seeing the spy shots of the C6 in its disguise. Its not as if its a photo!?
Just pathetic on their part.
Best of luck RC, from what ive read over the years they chose one of the worst people on the internet to argue with!

Sounds like they are too lazy to look at their own organisation for the person who leaked it and are looking for a scapegoat.
Should have said " see that car gumby? I am an valued member of an international organisation and do everything to uphold and promote your company.
I have interest in all things corvette, so if this picture was on the internet then why should I not have it?
I have not signed your embargo and therefore have no legal obligation in relation to possession/distribution of said image.
Now get the hell off my property you magnum pi wannabe motherf**kers!"
Best wishes and don't lose too much sleep, think they are just fishing for info/leads, trying to "scare" you into revealing your source.
