Default C6 Z06- GM Investigators just left my front Porch

...GM had two goons - Mr Duran and Mr Chiros arrive on my doorstep this evening.

They carried with them a folder of evidence.

Seems they think I stole their property by posting the copy of a link on a forum with a question "Is this old C6 news".

The gentlemen were not satisfied with my answer that "I simply posted a link I found".

And left me with this comment".

General Motors will not let this lie - and we will spend millions of dollars to prove a point.

Nice guys we are dealing with hey...

So I guess I am off to secure a lawyer tomorrow.

(hey - If I need millions of dollors to defend myself - since I didn't steal any images - how about a $5 donation from everyone towards my lega fund.. )

sounds good to me RC. But honestly i really don't think that GM has any kind of case against you. sounds like the Gestappo(sp?) is just making their rounds :fist:

they would have to prove that you persoanlly stole the pics from them somehow. and since they have yet to actually trace the source of the leak, i'd say you're in the clear. (besides, the C6 has already been released so doesn't that make this a moot point?)

but keep us posted anyway.

What? How did they find out where you live?

This is BS man, I hate how stupid companies think they can overcome the power of the internet.
Where they polite to you or did they try and intimidate you?


:shock: :shock:

WHAT??? That is insane man. They can't do anything to you. And what is the point of spending millions of Dollars just to prove try and prove that you posted a link somewhere?

Why didn't you just pull out the .44 Magnum and say "You're on my property." ?

LOL - - thanks man..

I am just about speechless that they actually think this is the way to handle any of this...

These 2 fools tried the "good cop, bad cop" routine - with one alternativelt threatening me, and the other consoling me... :roll:

"GM will spen millions to prove a point".
They won't do anything. I'm still curious as to how the fuck they got the right to trace you. Isn't there a way for you to sue them for invading your privacy or some other bullshit like that?

I thought this was gonna be a wind up, if anything comes of this its just proves that our legal systems have nothing better to do than deal with petty issues like this rather than actually doing something worthwhile :roll: good luck
