If AK or the armed branch of ~the370z.com~ decide that GTM is hosing their members, their "sponsor" status will be yanked in a hurry. There is no wacky sinister agenda here. Sam is not in cahoots with forum mods/admins. People are still scratching their heads and trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
In the meantime, DO NOT GIVE GTM YOUR MONEY. Wait and see what happens. Either they'll go bankrupt or this will all be quietly swept under the rug if they refund/fill the orders they've taken.
Please don't start implying that the forum is in on this. That's just dumb. They are regular car guys like the rest of us.

You really are clueless aren't you? If you havent figured it out by now here is a run down. Back in the day GTM was the largest sponsor of MY350Z.COM, probably a super platinum package that cost $1200 per month or so.(Im just throwing a number out there I cant remember what it cost to sponsor the forums back then) Any negative press was immediately dealt with by the forum moderators, plenty of them were GTM customers at highly discounted rates at the time.I know this for a fact, I have seen it first hand. EVERYTHING and when I tell you EVERYTHING was censored, it truly was.
Had I been allowed to speak my mind back then after discovering the truth about Sam and GTM then a ton of people may have been saved a lot money and this thread would not exist.
The forums are owned mostly by Internet Brands and rely on sponsors and advertising, and are in it to make money. They dont care about the truth, never did and never will.
However if it does come out that GTM was committing fraud and the forums knew about it or were made aware of it and did nothing to stop it, they can be held liable civilly or criminally. Most likely in civil court.
