LOL

Maybe this guy works for the Petroleum Company that makes
MOPAR's overpriced semisynthetic for them?

ATF +4 will work OK. But it will not work as well as
REDLINE C+ or AMSOIL full synthetic ATF.

No semi synthetic can work as well as a full synthetic.

Paranoia strikes deep.

Like I said. They are a bunch of insanely biased
nuts. Or maybe THEY work for Daimler Chrysler.



People I only finally spoke up because all the
lies propping up Daimler's "ATF +3 or +4 only"
scam offends my sense of fair play. I just hate
seeing others ripped off by it.

At least use Valvoline ATF, because it is just
as good and it costs less.

If you want to upgrade to something far better
then get REDLINE C+ or AMSOIL ATF.

Carl,

I think you moderate a forum somewhere that is what
they call a usenet portal and you can block posts
that still show up on usenet if you want. Is that
right?

No matter. Censorship sucks no matter what. I notice
that many automotive forums link to this Google Groups
thread. The thing is that lots of them are censored.
Lots of them only show posts which make MOPAR ATF ONLY
nuts look good. Of course that means those forums have
only a few posts from this thread.

<giggle>

Stern,

Grow a brain yourself.

Now this is interesting.

Don't believe that car forums all over the Internet
which link to this public Google Group are censoring
it at their end?

Then paste the tittle of this thread into the Google
search engine. Do a web search. Don't do a groups
search.

Here is the tittle of this thread [as it appears
with the misspelling of MOPAR as Mpoar].

DCX accused of intimidation

Chicago dealers fault subpoenas

June 15, 2004

BY SARAH A. WEBSTER
FREE PRESS BUSINESS WRITER

The controversy over DaimlerChrysler AG's lending policies in Chicago,
where the company is under a boycott and sales of the automaker's
vehicles continue to erode, appears to have escalated.

Two longtime Chicago automobile dealers accuse DaimlerChrysler of
harassing them because they plan to testify in a federal lawsuit on
behalf of a former dealer, who accuses the automaker of racist lending
policies. They say the company has made unreasonable requests for
documents through subpoenas.

Michael Christopoulos, president of Olympic Dodge in Chicago, and Pat
Fitzgibbons, owner of South Holland Dodge in a suburb of Chicago, are
coming to the defense of plaintiff Gerald Gorman.

In February 2003, Gorman and some of his minority customers filed
separate lawsuits against DaimlerChrysler, alleging that Chicago-area
DaimlerChrysler executives wouldn't give loans or fair interest rates
to black customers at his two dealerships because the stores were
located in minority neighborhoods. A dealer in Texas, Rick Perez, and
his customers filed similar lawsuits against DaimlerChrysler in late
2003.

DaimlerChrysler has maintained that it does not tolerate discrimination
and that the Chicago lawsuits are a smokescreen to cover up financial
and legal improprieties by Gorman's dealership, including falsifying
information on credit applications. The company has dismissed the Texas
lawsuits as copycats.

Chrysler spokesman Jason Vines said he said he did not know why
Christopoulos or Fitzgibbons would accuse the company of wrongdoing,
denied that the company has harassed or tried to intimidate them and
said this case is really about Gorman.

"This guy mismanaged his dealership. This guy defrauded his own
customers. And when he got caught, he created a smokescreen of racism,"
Vines said.

Christopoulos and Fitzgibbons, the former chairman of the Chicago Auto
Trade Association, recently told the Free Press that, like Gorman, they
witnessed top DaimlerChrysler executives in Chicago using racial slurs
and observed suspicious lending decisions involving DaimlerChrysler's
computerized system for evaluating and approving automobile loans.

"I had customers that came to my dealership to buy automobiles - were
turned down because I'm in a primarily and predominantly minority
area," Christopoulos said. "I've got the names of the people, so I
don't know how they're going to say this never happened to me, because
it did."

In depositions for the Gorman case, DaimlerChrysler employees have
alleged that the company's longtime former Chicago zone manager, Erv
Sirovy, regularly used racist language in the office for years and
asked the race of a loan applicant at least once. But both
Christopoulos and Fitzgibbons said they also plan to testify that
Sirovy's replacement, Ben Boggs, also made racist remarks related to
financing of vehicles for minorities.

While Sirovy said he was fired from DaimlerChrysler in 2001, before
DaimlerChrysler said it was aware of his remarks, Boggs is still
employed with the company. DaimlerChrysler has said it investigated
allegations that Boggs used racial slurs and found them to have no
merit.

Because of their impending testimony, both Christopoulos and
Fitzgibbons said they believe that DaimlerChrysler is trying to
intimidate them.

Christopoulos said it would probably take a month to produce all the
documents that the company has asked for in subpoenas. DaimlerChrysler
has asked his store to turn over all its advertising for the past four
years that "relates in any way to financing" and paperwork "for each
and every customer that purchased a vehicle with financing from Olympic
Dodge" between Jan. 1, 2000 and June 30, 2003, among other documents.

"This was designed in my opinion ... to scare me into not testifying
for Mr. Gorman," Christopoulos said.

Fitzgibbons received a similar subpoena.

"I'm a witness - not a litigant," Fitzgibbons complained. "It's quite
intimidating."

Gorman's attorney, Chris O'Hara, called DaimlerChrysler's latest moves
"harassment and delay" tactics.

Vines said the company's lawyers are being very thorough in their
subpoena requests because the charges are so serious.

"We don't believe it's excess at all and in no way serves as
intimidation," he said. "When you're trying to get to the crux of a
matter, you want to be thorough."

The lawsuits against DaimlerChrysler have sparked enormous controversy
in Chicago, where they have received substantial media coverage and
contributed to a high-profile, and seemingly successful, boycott of
Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Between January and May of this year, overall sales of new vehicles
were down 3 percent in Chicago's Cook County. But they were down 26
percent for DaimlerChrysler's products, according to new-vehicle
registration data from Southfield-based R.L. Polk & Co. In 2003, when
the boycott began, new-vehicle sales for DaimlerChrysler were off 19
percent in Cook County compared to the prior year, but they were down
only 4 percent nationwide.

If the boycott is the reason for the lower sales, Vines said, "it is
grotesquely unfortunate considering the facts that are starting to bear
out in this case."

Depositions taken of Gorman's customers do allege suspect sales
practices at one of Gorman's two dealerships, such as customers being
charged arguably excessive fees, financing charges and prices. Five of
the eight plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed by customers in Chicago have
asked to withdraw from the case.

According to the depositions, there were lies on some customers' credit
applications, such as incorrect income levels, but it's unclear where
those misstatements originated. Testimony taken from at least one
DaimlerChrysler employee suggested some of the misstatements originated
at a place in the company's computer system that neither Gorman nor his
employees had access to. DaimlerChrysler also has fired one of its own
employees in connection with the fraud.

Several of the vehicle purchases that DaimlerChrysler is pointing to as
proof of improper behavior at Gorman's store occurred after the
automaker said it cracked down on fraud problems at the dealership.

DaimlerChrysler never reported to police the alleged fraud at Gorman's
dealership, which it said it discovered by January 2001, nor did it
shut down Gorman's two dealerships before he filed his lawsuit two
years later. Gorman sold his Marquette Chrysler-Jeep store in January
2003, and his Dodge of Midlothian store went out of business in October
2003.

Vines said that is because "you can't take the keys out of a bad
dealer's hand in one day."

This latest flare-up in the dispute seemed to begin after May 20, when
DaimlerChrysler sent a letter to its dealers that updated them on the
developments in the two Chicago lawsuits. In the letter, the company
accused Gorman of unethical business practices, denied wrongdoing and
wrote that "in the end, Chrysler Financial shut down a dishonest,
crooked dealership that was duping and defrauding both its customers
and Chrysler Financial."

Christopoulos said the letter irritated him and several other dealers,
who said the company should have known better than to try selling that
position to businessmen who have dealt with the company and its
management for years. Soon afterward, an anonymous fax - signed "A
Fellow Dealer" - was sent to Chicago-area dealers challenging
DaimlerChrysler's position.

Then, on May 27, Christopoulos wrote a letter to DaimlerChrysler that
questioned whose "brainstorm" it was to send the letter.

"I believe all of those things happened here at Olympic Dodge, and in
addition, we have been coerced by" senior managers, Christopoulos
wrote. "You know for a fact that loans for customers have been turned
down at my dealership then later approved at other dealerships. ... The
one thing they do agree on is that DaimlerChrysler, and most notably
their senior management, is not to be trusted."

On June 6, Christopoulos was served with a subpoena at home at 10:30
p.m.

"They could have served me at my office," he said. "If someone was
genuinely interested in getting these things, and not attempting to
intimidate you, they would call at 10 o'clock in the morning."

Vines said Christopoulos was not at the office when the company
initially tried to serve him.

Three days later, DaimlerChrysler responded to Christopoulos' letter.

"Chrysler Financial has not discriminated against the customers of
Olympic Dodge or any other dealership on account of the customer's
race," wrote Peter Guthrie, manager of the company's Chicago business
center.

"Chrysler Financial purchases retail installment contracts of vehicle
buyers living in all neighborhoods throughout the Chicago area."

I love my old Dodge. I hate Daimler Chrysler Corporation.

At Chrysler plants, be loyal or hoof it

Ind. factories force workers who buy other cars to park far away

May 9, 2005

ASSOCIATED PRESS

KOKOMO, Ind. -- Workers at two DaimlerChrysler AG transmission plants
had better allow more time to walk in from the parking lot if they
drive Ford or General Motors vehicles.

A new policy that takes effect today designates about 80 percent of
employee parking spaces for Chrysler vehicles only and forces workers
to park much farther away if they drive a car or truck made by a
competing manufacturer.

In case employees forget, there are new blue lines painted on the
parking lot and signs that declare "DaimlerChrysler Parking Only" and
"DaimlerChrysler Vehicle Parking."

Workers have been told that non-Chrysler vehicles parked in the
reserved areas will be towed to Indianapolis at a cost of $200, the
Kokomo Tribune reported Sunday.

Chrysler spokesman Edward Saenz said most Chrysler plants across the
country have similar parking policies, but he said he did not know
exactly how many. Both transmission plants have ample parking, and the
new policy does not apply to vehicles with handicap plates, he said.

"It is a management initiative, but we believe it has wide support from
the employees," Saenz said. "It's a local decision."

The plants posted signs and painted the new lines about two weeks ago,
he said. Employees began receiving warnings last week leading up to
this week's enforcement.

Nine-year employee Bill Parks considers the new policy "a form of
harassment." He drives a Pontiac, made by GM.

"I think we have other issues going on in the company besides where to
park your vehicle," Parks said.

He is not disabled but has a back condition that occasionally flares
up. He bought his Pontiac as a second vehicle because he didn't want to
go into debt with two new Chrysler vehicles.

"I tried to find a good Dodge vehicle when I was buying this one, but I
couldn't find one at the time," he said.

You vill be loyal or you vill be forced to park far avay!

As well they should. Hint for ya. When you go to your job at
McDonalds tomorrow try eating a Wendy's burger in the dining room and
see how well the management reacts.


Your not going to change anyones mind about Amsoil by acting like a
spoiled little boy who didn't get his way. Amsoil is right up there
with religion and poilitics... You believe what you want to believe,
I'll believe what I want to believe and in the end we'll all still be
worm food.
