Texas Plumber Sues Car Dealer After His Truck Ends Up In Videos of Syria's Front Lines

A Texas plumber traded in his truck, which ended up in ISIS videos showing his logo and phone number. Now he is getting hundreds of harassing phone calls for 'supporting ISIS' and is suing the dealership for not taking off his information before selling it. He is seeking more than $1 million in damages. According to Mashable: "According to the complaint, filed last week, a salesman at the dealership, Edgar Vasquez, told Oberholtzer 'not to worry about the decal,' saying that peeling it off would 'blemish the vehicle paint.' 'At no time did Vasquez or any other agent, servant, or employee of the Defendant tell Plaintiff that Defendant would leave the decals on the truck, which would be transferred in some fashion to international jihadists conducting warfare upon innocents in Syria,' reads the complaint.

Poor plumber. Well it could be worse for him, he could have asked Obama a difficult question.

ing dumbass, he should have taken the logos off himself.

The bigger issue here, of course, is what are trucks from the US doing in Syria in the hands of ISIL

Yep. I strip the company logos off my trucks before I sell them. It's his own lazy ass fault.

High mile trucks traded in that the dealer sent to the auction instead of selling himself. Sold cheap and got exported.

Steering is most likely a little loose now.
Will need a detail, but resale value is elevated if it comes with dead fighters and gun.
Im guessing the tailgate is a bit wanky as well.

I would definitely pay top dollar for the aftermarket modifications.

Probably has that piece of 6.0L diesel. They'll have a clogged oil cooler and EGR valve soon enough if the head gaskets don't blow first from a leaking EGR system.

That's an American import. Who says we don't build things anymore?
