IB can certainly sell ads to whomever they may choose. You really need to question the placement decision that would put a GM spot on a site such as this. Would seem to be money poorly spent.

*rant alert*
Further, the interiors advertised are as much for working trucks as I am a brain surgeon. Those things are so incredibly fru-fru I would be embarrassed to own anything like them.
*rant over*

Carry on.

I can't see it now that I'm a paid support

EDIT: Tinman, I just saw you were a supporter also. I wonder why I don't see it and you do unless you went to a different part of the site.

Hmmmmm, There is a guy over on one of the diesel forum who just may be looking at that ad very seriously. Ford had his F250 over 70 days trying to figure out an electrical problem. Ford was working on it and he and Ford were assuming it was warranty. In the end, Ford denied warranty. He said he has been a long time Ford owner but has sworn "No more".

Can you blame him? OTOH, there is probably a Chevy guy in the same situation somewhere.

Brand loyalty just doesn't interest me. I've been screwed by all of them.

Not gone. Just moved to my house. To make matters worse, on the little envelope on the left of the post title, I see the little arrow indicating I responded to the post. I did not.
