That'* another reason to add to the list of of what I don't like about chrysler. I remeber they went after Hummer because they had seven openings in their grille, said it was a direct of copy of Jeep that had seven openings. Just be glad you're still in business guys

I never liked chrysler. I've never owned one and most likely never will. My wife had 2 grand caravans, and I hated them. All kinds of problems, mechanical and electrical. Got several coworkers had same problems.

Same here. My In-laws just bought a one year old Caravan, I told them not to buy it. In the first month they had to replace the brakes (normal), one of the calipers and both front wheel bearings. My pontiac is 8 y/o and the biggest thing I've had to do is change my motor mount and LIM'*

My parents have owned a Dodge Dakota and Caravan. When we finally got rid of the Caravan last year my dad said that'* the last Chrysler he'll ever own. I'll never even buy one to begin with.

Here is my two cents on Chrysler Group. If it was not for Cummins there would not be a Dodge Truck.

Why I have my Ram 3500 Dually. But the truck around the Cummins has taken a lot to keep it on the road. Although I can appreciate it is a direct trademark infringement, I think they could have let a School slide. Ford'* no Better. Their lawyers have been going after Ford Forums for a couple years. And shut quite a few down. Who can afford to go toe to toe with Big 3 lawyers over an internet Forum. Case like both should be seen by Automakers as free advertising, Not misuse of trademarks.

Money is awesome................. but on a serious note, I'm a fan of this game by Blizzard called Diablo 2 (my avatar). Well there are several sites all over the internet that are selling in-game items for actual money. This is, of course, a direct violation of the EULA. There is also another site that'* called D2 JSP and that is also in violation of Diablo'* EULA. There seems to be just a small problem though, Blizzard hasn't shut any of those sites down. The sites ruin gameplay and creates problems for legit players, which is a world'* difference then a school'* mascot using the "same" logo.

Is Chrysler and Ford money-hungry and Blizzard isn't?

Did you forget about World of Warcraft? $15 a month per player. You would assume Blizzard is about as greedy as they come, but they won't shut down the sites or press any kind of charges. They did however stop Ebay sellers from selling in-game items on that site. This game is also 10 years old. Is it worth Blizzard'* time anymore, that'* not the question.

My point?

Why do large companies go after stupid things like this, but if it'* important and there'* a good chance they'd win, they usually just leave it alone?
