Off topic, but why do people from NYC/Long Island think that that is all that consists of New York State and refer to it as such?

RE: Cars needed for photo shoot.
Not to rain on anyones parade in any way, shape or form....BUT. Wasnt it not that long ago some mustang club decided to do the same (make a calander showing pics of the members cars) and FORD got wind of it somehow and actually threatened them with a lawsuit?There was a huge bruehaha about it from what I remember, FORD alledging that if the ford logo's are in the pics or the Mustang emblem it was copywrite infringement, even though the pics were of cars the club members OWNED.
I think its a great idea, but I'm not sure I'd post anything about it anywhere and just do it. All of that happened while (from what I remember when ford was persuingbusinesses or websites that had "ford" or "mustang" in their company name as well).
Don't shoot the messenger guys....I dont have the slightest problem with what you are planning on doing. I just figured I'd forewarn you about how f'n ignorant FORD has been over groups doing this. If I get some time, I'll see if I can dig around and find the thread and the website of the club that was doing it that ford tried to step on about it. It was 10 kinds of BULL****.

Found it. Read about all the BS here: www.bmcforums.com/showthread.php?t=42402 Its 51 pages long. Evidently, they locked it down after that and eventually started a new thread after talking with their own lawyers who then spoke with FORD. This is the thread that got started after that: www.bmcforums.com/showthread.php?t=42820
Ok, I dont know why the name of the website is being blocked. Take the first letter of each of these Black Mustang Club, then add "forums.com" to it, and then the rest.
