| − | + | Welcome to the "new" newsletter from Hotrodders.com, the independent voice of hotrodding on the web. In this December '08 issue... | |
| + | Top tech articles from our hot rod how-to encyclopedia, techy forum discussions, hot rod project photojournals, and our hot rod art contest. Plus, Streetbeasts, a kit-car company, tries to bully us out of our free speech by filing a frivolous lawsuit against us after we expose their notorious reputation. See how hotrodders respond when corporate lawyers try to silence us. | ||

| − | + | ==Streetbeasts Files Frivolous Lawsuit Over Article== | |
| + | Recently, we wrote an article detailing the history and reputation of Streetbeasts, a disreputable kit-car manufacturer. In response, Streetbeasts has tried to silence us with a frivolous lawsuit. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Over the years, we've stood up to plenty of mainstream hotrodding industry companies. This time, it's no different -- Streetbeasts think they can silence us by bullying us out of our free speech. They're wrong. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We've refused to take down the article, and we're rallying our 70,000+ members to help us defend against the frivolous lawsuit by contributing to our legal defense fund. If you want to lend a hand, and stick up for free speech among hotrodders, you can help out by PayPal'ing a non-deductible contribution to freespeech@hotrodders.com.
