Give it a break. Galen is doing nothing wrong. It took time and money to put his stuff together. Should be compensated for his work. He has handed out plenty of free info.

Doesn't seem fair to hear only one side or third party stories. In full disclosure I have known Galen about 20 years, not as a close friend but just from car events. He has never done anything that I am aware of that I would find offensive and he certainly has added a lot to the Mopar car hobby. Particularly note the recent article in MCG where he gives some VIN info on phony cars. In my opinion it would be stupid to try some of the stunts mentioned when you are trying to develop a solid reputation that is important to his business.
