I remember about 15 years ago when a friend showed me a "cease and
desist" letter from some two bit ambulance chaser about using any and all
German car logos in their yellow page ads, flyers, or signage, or else
legal action would be taken.  Only problem was they WERE the authorized
dealers' wholesale department.
These companies are the SAME ones who pay millions of dollars for
"product placement" in movies and perfume ads, yet threaten legal action
against an enthusiast club giving them free publicity.  As Seinfeld would
say, they must work in "bizzaro world."
