Why would FTE let GM pay for an ad at the top of the page? Just to show how desparate GM is for business?

My guess is FTE sells the space to advertising companies. That just loops the adds here and else where, That any one can buy for X amount of money.

dont tell anyone, but i was on a GM forum the other day and it was setup exactly like FTE!!!
my guess is one company owns and keeps up with several forums for several makes... just sells advertising in packages...
though it is possible we just use the same software....
BTW: love the new avatar ches!!!

GM is trying to hide money (by spending it on ads in this forum) so they can get more money out of the government

ah-ha!!!!
lol he's prolly right though... though i hope they dont go under for good, that would make our trucks even more valuable and not so cheap anymore... one great thing about old ford trucks is not only they rock, but they're dirt cheap compaired to... well anything!
except ricers mabey...
