Hello All,

I appreciate all of the comments, good and bad. As of yesterday GM had kindly asked us to take the billboard down so we did. As I mentioned in another thread, this isn't the last of billboards or the last of us using a woman in our ads, but at least this one is dead for now LOL.

Thanks,
Gene.

Well you dont need to worry about loosing any business from those complainers. Anyone who would write in to you guys complaining about that billboard more than likely has zero mechanical skills.

The worst thing about this whole episode is that now all those people who wrote to complain will think you caved because of their pressure. That will only embolden them to fight against other things that offend their delicate sensibilities.

Thanks for all of the positive replies and support. We are going to get posters made up and are going to give them out free with a certain dollar amount of purchase, if asked for. We are working on the temporary tattoos as well.
