"Don't thouch my car" reminds me of a couple of kids in the back seat crying to their mommy, "junior touched me mommy"... "junior, stop touching your sister." For small businesses trying to get the word out is a huge expense, an expense that many cannot afford, yet there aren't a lot of jobs out there either; it just seems as though the world is filled with a lot of angry people running out of things to complain about.

Everyone should know the general rule that ignorance of a law or a mistake of law is not a valid defense or excuse."....couldn't you just leave it at that? Did everyone know that POPULAR FORD on Coney Island Ave closed last month FOR GOOD ? I will be going to Premier Ford soon to buy an American made car and I will make it a point not to mention I live in the beach until AFTER I make a deal. “When asked, a manager at Premier Ford pleaded ignorance of the law, but thanked me for informing them of their mistake.

The word is out and I feel confident I won't be seeing any more annoying fliers on my windshield anytime soon, at least not from Premier Ford. Good work GBnet thanks for staying on top of this.
