. . . Ford screwed us and all of you that want the car to be called a GT40.

Want the truth? Cal me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need to call. Safir registered "GT40" in 1985, knowing full well that he was squatting on Ford's mark. Ford was apparently asleep at the wheel when the mark was registered.

How exactly has Ford screwed Safir? Because it refused to pay ransom?
