SERIOUSLY FTE!

Slap whoever Picked Chevy Duramax as an Ad whenever you scroll over Powerstroke. A Ford fan based site with Chevy add whenever you scroll over Powerstroke..... Epic Fail.

Not my point, being a supporter good for you. It seems A bit senseless to support brand X to everyone else whenever Brand X's name pops up you start an Ad for Brand Y.

FTE has no control over what comes up on those ads. They're randomly generated by Google.

There are ways other than being a supporter to avoid ads. Depending on your browser and the additional tools you use you can keep from being annoyed.
However the supporter option is the best way to clean your window.

Those ads pay for this site. You get the benefit of having FTE at NO COST TO YOU.
GM pays for this site along with all the other advertisers.
Quit your Complaining.
Once again, when you become a supporter there are no ads.

Ahhh.....

The "DARK SIDE" is calling.....

(I think it's funny)

As one example - the only reason I'd buy a dodge would be to rob a 12 valve cummins out of it to plant in a ford

Even if they did have control over the ads that appear, I think it would be absolutely appropriate for FTE to take money and run ads for GM products. Would anyone here even think about buying a Chevy based on an ad? I doubt it.
