Threaten and demand money.
They can't use pics of your car to sell a product without your permission.

I think you guys are missing one very important fact. Pictures on the net can circulate everywhere. People often post on various message boards, and there are many sites that take pictures of car shows. In order for the person that used your picture to ask your permission, they would have to visit this site and know you as a member. How do you expect someone to contact you and ask permission if they don't even know where the picture came from? For instance, someone visits Import Speed South and found your picture on Nopi Nationals 2002 or something, how would they know who the car belongs to? Personally, I would take it as a compliment that they used your picture.

Uhh, appearantly you too are missing the point as well. Someone CAN NOT take someone elses pics, pawn them off as their own, and try and make money from it. You can't do it with people, Stock Photography, or even someones car. There are Copyright issues and there's is the matter of legality. Basically, you can get in a **** load of trouble for trying. And, what if someone can't track down the person to ask there permission, simple, DON'T use the picture.
