Default Knock Knock.....!

This post is just to informed concerned forum member about piston slap that GM has really stepped out of its boundaries. It has invaded our 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights. That is right. GM is threatning to take action against consumers who complain about their oir burning and knocking engine. Early this year this web page web page was created to inform consumer about this issue. GM told the creator of this website to neautrilize his website or face " serious reprisals" from the corporation. This is a perfect example of how giant corporations bully individuals and small entities due to their financial and political leverage. I am aware of certain forum member(s) who are a little sensitive about this topic. Please do not reply if that is the case. I have no intentions in going into some ethical debate with you. We must stick together and contunue our efforts to win this battle against GM. Remember that it was public opinion and awareness that ended the Soviet Union, not missiles.

THIS is why GM said shut it down and I support everything about having this site (in its curerent form) removed. With proper factual backing and minus the inflamitory commentary this site could actually be helpful...now it only poses to put its owner in a financial debacle.

BTW- "Free Speech" as you seem to refer to is not unlimited. If you yell "FIRE" in a crowded area you better damn well be able to PROVE there is a FIRE or suffer the consequences. Like I said before...find some facts, substantiate some claims and keep the propaganda to a minimum and you might ahave some ground to stand on.

Please buy a Dodge and leave us alone. If you have nothing but conjecture to contribute to this site I will PayPal you 35 cents to call somebody who cares. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

you have 3 choices:

1) it has been stated many times before but i'll say it again, go about getting yur injustice corrected in the proper manner
2) live with piston slap if you unfortunately have it
3) buy a dodge or ford and continually hear the sound of piston slap, from a few lengths back of course <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Just because I can: <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

GM is threatning to take action against consumers who complain about their oir burning and knocking engine.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Like I said before "Free speech" is much more than being able to say ANYTHING with out responsibility. Where is this "threat" in writting? As Corpration which is pursuing legal action, I know it exists. Why has the "bigblackmotor" conveinently left this document off his site? Is it too incriminating? is it "not in line" with his propaganda or does he feel this explaination is unbiased?

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOOK!! IMPORTANT!!! GM TRIES TO BULLY THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AWAY THROUGH INTIMIDATION!!!!
IN THEIR CONTINUED ATTEMPTS TO BLAME THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS ON THE INTERNET, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OPEN COMMUNICATIONS AND THEIR CONSUMERS, GM ATTEMPTED TO DEMAND THIS WEB SITE BE "NEUTRALIZED" ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 2002. THEY ALSO HAVE THREATENED THAT CORPORATE ACTION AGAINST THE BigBlackMotor MAY BE IN STORE. GM OBVIOUSLY HAS DISDAIN FOR SOME BASIC AMERICAN PRINCIPLES SUCH AS FREEDOM OF SPEECH, HONESTY AND INTEGRTY. GM WAS INFORMED THAT WE WILL NOT BE BULLIED OR INTIMIDATED! WE ARE NOT QUITTERS! UNLIKE GM, WE HAVE VALUES, PRINCIPLES AND HONOR. WE WILL BE TAKING THIS CONSUMER ADVOCATE INITIATIVE TO A NEW PHASE BY MAKING EVIDENCE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE SO THEY MAY SIMPLY WIN A QUICK AND EASY MAXIMUM SMALL CLAIMS JUDGEMENT ($5K in TX) AGAINST GM, EASILY WIN THEIR LEMON LAW CASE OR THEIR BBB ARBITRATION. STAY TUNED, THIS WILL PROVE TO BE FUN!!! THIS IS A GREAT SIGN OF PROGRESS!! THE BigBlackMotor MAY HAVE TO CHANGE HIS NAME TO KAREN SILKWOOD!!!! </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Without going into any detail it is obvious we are dealing with one pissed of and obviously confused individual.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Early this year this web page web page was created to inform consumer about this issue.

How exactly is this bullying? GM has issued a cease and desist for an action bigblackmotor made (publishing his site) due to the lack of factual information. If bigblackmotor would simply layout some facts (and NO his personal interpretation do not constitue facts)such actions could not be pursued.

YEAH...don't count on that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> So you want to post how "GM OBVIOUSLY HAS DISDAIN FOR SOME BASIC AMERICAN PRINCIPLES SUCH AS FREEDOM OF SPEECH, HONESTY AND INTEGRTY," yet you don't want to debate on ethics and you don't want to hear counterpoints? Who's trying to violate "BASIC AMERICAN PRINCIPLES SUCH AS FREEDOM OF SPEECH, HONESTY AND INTEGRTY" now? I'm confused <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Kind of a stretch don't you think? You are comparing a politial and military venture which encompassed many years and took the lives of many people to a noise in your engine? <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> Put things back in to the proper scope / perspective and you will be amazed how much more credibility you have.
