why would the dealer sue for freedom of speech that was in no way malicious or flase in an open forum?

Speaking of lawyers, I hope you've hired a pitbull lawyer. It's time to really go after this problem and stop farting around with internet pranks. Nothing causes dealer scrotal tightening like a friendly phone call from Bitem, Chewem, & Spitemout llc.

Ok, just for fun, I went to The Collection's website and sent them the following correspondence via their contact page:

"How much do you guys want for that black Porsche your tech wrecked? I figure with the diminished value of a wrecked and repaired luxury car,it's gotta be a great deal...oh...wait a minute...I just found out from your boss that there's no such thing as diminished value...nevermind...sorry to bother you."

actually, I would be down for a "drive-in" protest if it comes to it.

Imagine, 50+ porsches from south florida all driving to the collection to "represent". We could all have window signs made, one for each side of the car, and basically we drive to the collection, merrick park next door, or across the street and just have an assembly for like 5 hours on a saturday. Meanwhile we all talk, shoot the ****, and inform curious people that its not a car show, but why we are gathering. At the center of the event could be a flat bed with the wrecked porsche on it and a banner below it.......man this would rock.

While I'm in San Diego can cannot participate, I'm TOTALLY for this idea!

If the local PCA chapter is active, make it an official event, with hot dogs, beer and a car/parts swap meet ... maybe right in front of the dealership. And yeah, call the local news since it'll be an interesting sight.

Update: Wait. I get it. You were being completely literal. Dell, have you seen this thread ?

Yup, literal. I was talking about the Collection doesn't get it and YOUR write-up was GREAT.

And yes I read the other link. I have been watching both threads very closely. It infurriates me that dealers pull this crap on customers like they mean nothing to them. I like the show of solidarity that is being exhibited here and can't wait to hear the outcome
