Hmm....nothing like over-generalizing the intent. I haven't seen where GM has sued any Corvette club, as of yet - in marked contrast to CS vs. SAAC. Do you think, maybe, that distinction might have some bearing?
And do not put words in my mouth, sir. Nowhere in the post was there any support for CS, as you tacitly infer; it might be distasteful to acknowledge the realities here, but the thought that this will be adjudicated 100% in favor of EITHER party is naive and puerile. You DID have a handshake licensing agreement, did you not? Do you truly believe that SAAC is made of whole cloth, and will be given absolution by any court?
This fight is for the continued existance of SAAC - an appropriate and desireable outcome. The extensive work done by the club is, beyond any doubt, of incredible value, tangible and otherwise. You have the obligation - to yourselves and those who depend on you - to ensure the continued viability of the club. If your assets are so large that you can simply choose to draw a hard line in the sand, congratulations. On the other hand, you might choose to consider the alternatives, and prepare for same.
