    This is not news just a new example, Ford has been doing this for a couple of years now. This instance is retarded but there are several others that are not, and ford has rightly gone after them. Then it just becomes a problem of where do you draw the line? Ford has apparently chosen not to draw any lines and is pursuing everyone.

      From another forum

      My name is Whitney Drake and I work in Ford Communications.
      We've been watching this discussion with interest and I'd like to
      clarify what is essentially a misunderstanding.

      Yesterday we spoke to both Cafe Press and the Black Mustang Club
      and explained the situation (about the Black Mustang Club’s calendar) to everyone's satisfaction. Ford has no problem with Mustang or other car owners taking pictures of their vehicles for use in club materials like calendars. What we do have an issue with are individuals using Ford’s logo and other trademarks for products they intend to sell. Understandably, we have to take the protection of our brands and licensing very seriously.

      Ford did not send the Black Mustang Club a “cease and desist” letter telling them that they could not use images of their own cars in their calendar. The decision not to allow the calendars to be printed was made by Cafe Press, because we had gotten in touch with them in the past about trademark infringements on products they sold.

      The Black Mustang Club, and any other Ford enthusiast club, are free to take pictures of their own vehicles for use in calendars or other materials as long as they don't use Ford trademarks in products that will be sold.

      I think it is great that the Black Mustang Club, and any other enthusiast club, would take pictures of their own vehicles for use in calendars or other materials.

      I'm looking forward to purchasing a copy to hang in the garage next
      to my Mustang (even if mine isn't black).

      Thanks for giving us the chance to have our say.

        Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
        Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
        Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
        Torque is how far you take the wall with you
