    Wow that's an amazing compliment. Do they not need your permission to use your cars like that?

    :)

    Well, here's the deal. With the wagon, About six weeks ago I actually responded to a request they made for customers to send photos and a brief story about their vehicles as they were looking for fresh vehicles to use on the photo magnets they send free with every order. I thought, what the hey. I already received one with a Grand National on it so I figured they didn't want repeats so I sent the wagon. Hopefully it makes magnet status. :yup:

    Now the GN was a real shocker. I actually uploaded that photo to Wikipedia for use there back in 2007. When you do that, you basically allow it to be used in the public domain. There are thousands of Grand National images on the Web so it was surprising that mine was chosen to represent on Yahoo. :cool:
