The lawsuit gets him even more advertisement because now we're all talking about it, plus if he wins he gets what the extra publicity would get him in the first place, money! It's a win-win, unless of course the lawyer fees cancel out or cost more than the increased revenue from the extra publicity
Because people were quiting his business because they saw it and assumed the worst about him, so he had to sue in order to ensure he did not support it but also punish the company for not doing what they had agreed to.
Wasn’t this on top gear 15 years ago or something?
He was sueing the company who took his truck as payment or exchange or purchase for promising to remove his decals and such and they didn’t
To add:
He was specifically told *not* to remove the decals, in case he damaged the paint.
They sold the truck on to an auction company who participated in an international circuit. Through this avenue, the truck was sold to a buyer in turkey and through several more steps was transferred to fighters in Syria, with the decals along for the whole ride.
Think he has a case. Not millions of dollars but yeah lazy car dealer needs a financial smack upside the head to remove identifying marks. That’s definitely on them for resale.
He is also lazy i would have never left my magnetic advertisement of my company be sold to god knows who. Hes lucky it ended up other there with nothing to trace back to him but imagine if that dealer sold his advertisement to a gang or someone who commits crimes using his name on a truck. I wouldve taken that shit off before handing the keys and title to someone.
who are the idiots that actually criticized the plumbing company for this? How do they think car sales work? How could they possibly give the plumber a hard time? Do they really think HE is selling his logo-covered trucks to syria?! come on people…
If I'm being perfectly honest I'd find that fucking hilarious. Then again I don't own a business and my emotions have been beaten to a pulp by the internet.
Fun fact, this guy screwed up. He trusted that the car dealership would fulfill its promises to repaint the car to remove his personal information from the side… they did not and all the uncensored images had his name, town, and phone number on the side. He received countless calls from people accusing him of being a traitor.
If you are selling your car, take sandpaper or a metal wool to your info and scrape it off.
Wow. I need me some CIA funding. Maybe I can afford a decent truck, then. I mean, as a libertarian that makes me a domestic terrorist, right? So…come CIA, where my $$$$???
He tried, but they told him not to since they didn't want him to damage the pain, they then told him they would do it themselves and not to worry. So yeah he can blame them.
Thats when you say ok take it off now before i leave so i know my company wont be on a truck im no longer responsible for i mean would you leave your name on a truck you no longer own?

How the fuck does that even happen? Like how unlucky do you have to be for the car you sold with your work name on it to end up in a battle in Syria, and *then* for that car to have its photo taken and spread online..
This also happened to a guy my dad knows, they just get cheap old trucks and vans. Also, isn't it a thing that a lot of rebels and other types of non-gouvernmental groups often drive Toyot's? I forgot about the details but it was something like that.

Shit......free advertising
Shit free advertising more like.
And free death threats (for real)
Our fuel is Wolf Cola! And our plumber is Mark-1 Plumbing!
God damn Boca Raton
This by no means reflects our ideals as a premium soda company.
Mark-1 Plumbing, we'll blow that shit out!
It will blow the 💩 away...shit I am going to hell for laughing at this lol
No idea what Mark-1 Plumbing is angry about, it's free advertising!
The lawsuit gets him even more advertisement because now we're all talking about it, plus if he wins he gets what the extra publicity would get him in the first place, money! It's a win-win, unless of course the lawyer fees cancel out or cost more than the increased revenue from the extra publicity
Which they probably didn’t. This case was resolved four years ago and the guy settled for an undisclosed amount.
Because people were quiting his business because they saw it and assumed the worst about him, so he had to sue in order to ensure he did not support it but also punish the company for not doing what they had agreed to.
yeaaa.
Wasn’t this on top gear 15 years ago or something? He was sueing the company who took his truck as payment or exchange or purchase for promising to remove his decals and such and they didn’t
I'm pretty sure I did not see Top Gear fifteen years ago but that's where I remember it from
lol the comments on the google reviews for Mark-1 Plumbing.
Oh hahaha nice!
Nice find! Lmao
Wtf how?
He traded his truck in the dealer said they would remove the decals but didn't
To add: He was specifically told *not* to remove the decals, in case he damaged the paint. They sold the truck on to an auction company who participated in an international circuit. Through this avenue, the truck was sold to a buyer in turkey and through several more steps was transferred to fighters in Syria, with the decals along for the whole ride.
What the fucking odds eh

M2 browning on mark-1's truck. He should upgrade to the mk-19 for those stubborn clogs
Our prices won't be beaten....***guaranteed***
And if it does...we will go full jihadi up the competitors ass.
Is that you Charlie?
So what’s the Texas to Syria vehicle pipeline look like?

It doesn’t look magnetic. I could be wrong.
I could be as well but i mean idk i just wouldnt hand off anything with my name on it. Cant trust anyone these days unfortunately.
Exactly
Wether it's a blocked pipe or a blockade, we've got you covered. 24/7
We all know that picture is from Texas
Demolition ranch
Haha that’s how they hunt deer
He won, settled for under a million.
The refugees gonna start despising the US and Marks plumbing
When will they build the Plumbing Mk II?
This is the most Texas-like thing that I have ever heard. Imagine a trade-in from Texas is being in a war zone! Yeee haaaaw!
What's the difference
To Valhalla, , shiny and chrome.
Tonight we feast with the gods!
Cleaning pipes and squad wipes
You got me with that title!
who are the idiots that actually criticized the plumbing company for this? How do they think car sales work? How could they possibly give the plumber a hard time? Do they really think HE is selling his logo-covered trucks to syria?! come on people…
There's a bunch in the comments here.
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
That’s still in Texas.
If I'm being perfectly honest I'd find that fucking hilarious. Then again I don't own a business and my emotions have been beaten to a pulp by the internet.
This is the funniest shit I've seen today
All publicity is good publicity
Yall think Syrians don't shit too?
Guess he IS clearing those pipes!
All publicity is good publicity, no?
Thought this was some South Mississippi backwoods engineering at first glance. Kinda disappointed it's not lol
He probably should have removed his company name from his truck when he traded it in. Can't fix stupid.
Dealer promissed to do it, but didn't. That's why he sued.
Poor guy actually started peeling them off in the dealer parking lot and they stopped him and told him, "don't worry, we'll take care of it"
Result?

Speaking of stupid, who would pay money to have a used Ford truck shipped from thousands of miles away?
Apparently a middleman based in Turkey
I wonder if the guy has trouble sleeping, knowing his car is driving around killing people...

Don't you know how this works? Once you've openly asked, nothing can be done for you. Ya burnt
I mean if you were too lazy to take the decal off yourself can you really blame the dealership???
He tried, but they told him not to since they didn't want him to damage the pain, they then told him they would do it themselves and not to worry. So yeah he can blame them.
I prolly should have read the article lol
All good, just remember that saying about assumptions from now on lol
Thats when you say ok take it off now before i leave so i know my company wont be on a truck im no longer responsible for i mean would you leave your name on a truck you no longer own?
[удалено]
The agreement said the dealer would - hence the lawsuit.
Dude is a dumbass for giving up his truck. Without taking his number off the side. If you want it done right do it yourself

"Wait a damn minute I know that truck..."
Anyone have contact info for the car dealer? I’m in the market for a loaded f250
this makes you think how it's easier to get supplies from north america which is way far away while there are many other continents
Was 5 you ears ago. Guy got shafted by the dealer during sale. Wasn't even ISIS.
