Default Re: Factory Aluminum Intakes SBC BBC 8 Of Them!

When someone mentions my name (or company name) in their verbiage I normally take this as a huge compliment and would never dream of asking them not mention my name unless they paid me to do so.

That is just plain stupid in my opinion but fame does strange things to people. Don't they realize that every time people mention their fathers name we are bringing recognition to that name and what it stands for? I can see if someone were using the name to make and sell shirts, hats, pictures, etc which may be considered profiting without consent but not for an ebay add. Look how much recognition Don Yenko gets from people. Imagine if this were to happen there and we all had to take Yenko off of our trailers, etc. I consider this free advertising to the family not profitting from it. I am proud to wear the Gibb/Harrell/Yenko name on trailers, my store front door, etc. If some of them don't want the free advertising that can be arranged as I am CERTAINLY not profitting from it!

It is really sad what this hobby has done to some people. Gone are the days when we were all in this together. What a waste!

Sad to say, but are you really surprised? Think of who you're dealing with.
I wish <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">they</span></span> could see what <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">they're</span></span> doing to the name. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

I wish they could see what they're doing to the name.
I tried to explain that very thing to her on the phone once. The message didn't get through. I wish the name could be respected as it should be but it is so tarnished now it's just a shame.

Just posted many more parts. None have Dick Harrell's name attached [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] , so they should make it to auction end. I also reposted the 163 and 198 auctions that were ended in the aforementioned drama.

Some fun day 2 parts in the new mix as well.

Thanks,
