I am starting a new facebook page that will be dedicated to killing the stigma associated with the term "Tuner" cars.

D-Bags with Honda civics equip with fart-cans have ruined the image of all customized cars made after 1990 and this really angers me. Most of us spend LOADS of time, money and experience making our cars fast, beautiful and truly unique. This time spent is really in vain when it comes to anyone outside our little "tuner" clubs because regardless of what people see when they look at your car, they "SEE" a moron with a car that sounds like a lactose intolerant jackass on a 5 day ice-cream bender!

As part of this movement, My detailing company will be partially sponsoring a big car show in the coming year. This show is being held in Biglerville, PA by the organization Lead Scene (http://www.leadsceneeast.com). These are all old-skool lead-sled and muscle-car guys but there is a push to get more modern cars into the show.

So, this is what I want to do. I want to create a new term for us because "Tuner" is screwed. I am pressing for "Modern-Day Customs" to be included in next years show. I want to showcase what we can REALLY do, and that we are just like the old-skool guys, just with newer stuff. And to separate ourselves from those morons that forever tarnished our name.

In this, I am looking for a picture of one of our Modern-Day Customs here at Matrix Owners. I want to post it as the main picture people see on the new FB page got give them an understanding of what we are about. Good, clean, custom fun!!

Let me know what you all think!!

Just take your favorite picture of someone's car...copy it...

i think he would need permission to do that

Why? Anything on the Internet is public.

That'd be like saying you can't look in google images and use a picture in a slide show or something...he should just pick someone's car he thinks is impressive and let them know.along with giving proper credit of course...

Edit: did you need permission to use that fast n furious picture?lol

Yes, well, going along with the "Trying NOT to be a D-bag" thing, I am asking for pics. I know Google will give me plenty but I figured I would ask. Thanks for the tip though.

fair use is tricky.
the FF pick is being used in a satirical manner, not intended to promote anything.
OP is asking for pics to be used in the promotion of a group/event... and thus needs to have the permission of whoever created the image.
