I know how you feel, I've seen a few people use my pics in order to sell their SC's on the likes of craigslist and such...Maybe their just trying to make themselves look good?

on that page it says "Driver: Blk97SC300"... I dont know if they're also using someone else's username because the actual Blk97SC300 is on this board who I bought a few parts from... he definitely doesn't seem like the type of guy to pull a stunt like this.

I know the feeling... Think of it as a compliment haha. The video of my SC400 on Youtube is pasted all over random websites like myspace claiming it's theirs...

I'd give them a nasty phone call and ask to have it removed immediately before you take legal action. I'd someone was making money off my picture I would want a cut. But in a way I would also take is a compliment because they those your picture.

Too funny...Copying is the best form of flattery.

For a sec I thought it was the engine picture I took when we were out on the river.

When you blew by the cop car at 120mph....god that never gets old.

Read his little info sheet: 8.0 compression GTE + T67 + 20PSI + C16 = 463 at the wheels. Is that not a little low for That combo? If you're gonna steal someones identity, at least lie correctly! Lol

As mentioned before, the Blk97SC300 on this board wouldn't do this.

I would be flattered...I know he is "stealling" the image but he thought yours looked so good that he wanted it to be his. As far as Blk97sc300 lets not torch him until you find out it is him. This person stole a picture he could have used the same screenname. He might of just came in surfed CL and went shopping.

some people must be really bored
