No, they're full of crap. I asked them for proof and they wouldn't (couldn't) provide any.

This has been covered several times...

The whole thing is a hoah propegated by some people who surf these boards and take names of members to send these e-mails to.

The e-mail has nothing to do with the fact that any of you own Hyundais... Just that you surf these boards.

Locked...
