It looks like SP bought a misspelled version(s) of DTR's domain name. Not exactly the most ethical thing to do.

SP Diesel is a poorly run company. The management there had issues with Lary because he wouldn't allow them to advertise their junk here for free. So they pulled the childish game of using misspelled url's for DTR to go to their site. Stay away from them.

What T-Boe said. Stay far away. They haven't done it just for us, but other sites as well.

Yep, I believe it's called cyber-squatting.

The good news is, they let everyone know they are a bunch of crooks by doing that

If you get burned by SP Diesel, it is your own fault by not paying attention
