Ford is Sueing Aftermarket Companies

[vristang]

What I don't like is that Ford is pursuing all companies using the Ford/Mustang name. I am sure that there are some crap companies out there that are giving Ford a bad name. However most of these places have very good reputations.

Also, it has been stated that the petition and other actions currently being taken will have no influence on Fords actions.

Mustang owners have had a major influence on Ford before. When the Probe was all set to replace the Fox Bodies, Mustang owners protested. Ford had no choice but to develop the sn95.

We can make a difference, if we do this right.

I hope Mustangs Northwest is planning some activity on this front.

WOW! Glad we do have a legal expert on this forum

Whats nice is everyone can have their own opinion. I still think that the guy who wants to start a business and have the name Mustang in it should be able to. Like Mikes Mustang that used to be in Marysville. People knew by the name that is what he specialized in so they took their cars there to be worked on. A company like Dallas Mustang that has been around for years supporting classic Mustangs BIG DEAL they use Mustang in their name.

I hope that car clubs don't have to change their names also, Mustangs Northwest could become "Native American Horse Northwest" yeah...Ford should be sued for using the name of the horse. I say we should sue Ford for all the poor Mustang horses out there who never got any money from Ford using THEIR name and image to sell a car!!! The horses deserve to live a lavish life of being pampered for Fords GREED in not paying them anything and using their name!! Shame on Ford!!!

Pretty stupid isn't it? My point exactly.

Yeah, .... what he said.

I was told that the Mustang Ranch just changed their focus to early Mustangs and cougars.
I haven't been out there in quite some time

Different "Mustang Ranch" They mean the one around Reno

Oh, you mean the one Google would send me to whenever I searched for "Mustang Ranch"

I almost got in trouble for that. It took some explaining.

I still do not understand why ford is going after the classic mustang vendors.

They sell parts that ford no longer manufactures. There is no lost revinue to ford.

anyways, Fwiw. I did look at the 06 STI. I think I will buy one after I pay off the honda my wife bought.

These lawsuits my not of been the sole reason I bought from a different company, but it definantly was a factor in my decision.
