Slightly OT...
 

Hey...want to hear a "funny" little story? :-)

I happened to be browsing Ebay a couple days ago and saw and ad that had a very familiar looking car in the gallery...my car. :p It seems that someone stole the image of my car from the garage here on GS to use to sell the little wiper motors for the front of a mercedes 190...notice the nice little watermark.

Here is the ad link for item # 150217200539 by seller "visavi":

<< https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ksid=p3907.m32 >>

I have invited him to send me a PM on either GS or 190revolution. He didn't steal a pic from there (not sure, many more pics available) instead he decided to steal a members writeup on replacing the motors...(shrug) Here is the link for the writeup...2phast is a longtime member there... <<https://www.2phast.com/190E/headlight.htm>>

So far...no response either through Ebay, GS or 190rev...anybody know who this seller is??

Heard on 190rev that he goes by the name sev and was banned a while back for such shady things. ;-)

Hmmm....maybe an admin guy from GS ought to drop him a note on eBay and ask who gave him permission to use the pics? Or drop a note to eBay, and they'll probably pull the listing....they don't like unauthorized pics.

Not sure it is worth that effort to me...this is more of a "peeved" in a funny sorta way kinda thing to me...although, if GS wants to keep some control over their content, they might want to drop Ebay a note and get setup with the VERO program.

Yeah, maybe I'm being too hard-nosed on this....it is advertising the site, after all....
