They'll just steal your idea and not give you any credit whatsoever. A few months back (maybe a year or more now) DCX plagerized an article I typed for SRTForums on the end-of-life on the previous gen SRT-4 in one of their OEM magazines, and didn't give me any credit for it at all. At the time I thought it was pretty cool that they would publish it, but credit is due where credit is due. If you're gonna quote something that someone else has said or done, giving due credit would be the polite thing to do. I'd be pissed if I were you Suz. I think a phone call suggesting a position within the design department is not too much of a stretch.
Then there's GranTurismo with his awesome SRT sedan chop based on the Evo concept... so what if that chop generated buzz and got a lot of executives all red-faced... it's still a creative chop based on elements already out there in the wild, and if companies like Chrysler don't like us enthusiasts speculating on how great their products
could be, while ramming junk like the Caliber down our throats, well... if they don't know where they can go, maybe we can chop a map for them.
