Car and Driver caught in some BS

This guy is one of the guys over on the Nova forum I frequent. Cool guy, shame they put his car in a bad light.

Wow....

Yeah. Talk about a dick move on their part.

So they chopped a photo and did it without his permission?

Wow...

Yes, that's right.

what a douche move!!

I hope he pushes that... that is a dumb move on their part.

a nice out of court settlement and a swift kick in their nuts will work.

looks soo fake though

thats not fake that bemmer is taking that nova's lunch money :rofl:

they have some balls!!

It would be funny if they actually staged a race between him and that bimmer, but knowing that he'd outclass it by 3 seconds, they surely won't. Hopefully he can at least get someone at C&D to respond to him, but I doubt it.

maybe after the court case he can give the nova some reall balls!

If the car mag actually STOLE that dude's picture, then maybe. If they took the picture themselves, or bought it from the person who released his copyright to them, then they can do anything they please with the picture. There will be no court settlement.

There won't be a lawsuit anyway. Probably not worth his time or money. I think it's the principle of the thing.

That picture is stolen. If it wasn't then he wouldn't be as pissed I'm sure.

I think he is pissed because he was depicted in an unfavorable matter. :shrug:

I love how hard the rags swing from BMW's nuts. This just confirms that feeling.

hahhahaah thats funny as hell i doubt theres anything he can do about this

thats bs if you look at the pic thats 2 after that one they did the same thing with another car

i used to respect caranddriver

its a sh***ty deal, but basically once a picture is introduced to the internet its everybodies to do with. totally wrong and i would be pissed off if it was my car, but thats the chance you take when you post pics of yourself or possesions on the internet.

sucks, but such as life

he can try to push that its slander/defamation of character in some sort of way :rofl:

the picture is property of the photographer, just because its a picture OF his car, doesn't mean its his picture to cry about

The thread is too long to read, what, if anything, happened between him and C&D?

what is the caption/article that goes with the pic?

the bmw is fugly

Yeah I saw this on cardomain a couple of weeks ago. There really is nothing he can do about it.
