I'm not sure that Mustang is a trademark. There are Mustang guitars and Mustang airplanes not to mention the horse. This is going to be interesting.

 

Why wouldn't Ford just license the name out for a mere $1..? That would certainly hold up their end of "protecting the trademark".

 

If it wasn't trademarked, they would not be going after people for trademark infringement. There can be more than one trademark on the same name as long as the usage is for something different. For example, I own a trademark and have a website with that name -- so does someone else, but mine is for a totally different product. Someone just registered my domain name as an .eu TLD but until they put up a website and we can see what they plan to do with it, I can't take the domain.

I just found 145 trademarks for the name Mustang including MUSTANG GT-R (Motor vehicles, namely, automobiles, trucks, vans, sport-utility vehicles, and their structural parts and engines) and FORD MUSTANG (cigarette lighters),

 

They just have to be able to prove that you were talking about the car from what I've heard from a few other people. This was a pretty big thread in the OT section about a month ago

 

Yeah Ford did it in the 80's and went after any company using the name FORD.

I just noticed the yellow font underneat the top center ad on the page. "Mf.com is NOT affiliated in any way the FoMoCo". Has that always been there??

 

Yap it's always been there.

 

it used to not be there, i noticed it a a few days ago, cause it clashes with the blue so it sticks out alot. the colors are an eye sore IMO

 

That's probably the idea though. They might just want it to stand out since this started.

 

Err, where's your first house? I am just in AZ for school, I live outside NYC. If you're in NY then I am scared of you.

Are you on the rennlist forums at all? How has the 944 been for you? Any issues? If you're ever stuck with something on that car feel free to PM for help.
