Why on Earth is there a recurring ad up top for gum in SPANISH?...

I know I have to buy my way out of the ads... I understand that. But the espanol is a little irritating... I have to deal with enough of that in California.

I think the Chevy ads are more offensive but it does provide the revenue to support this excellent site.

Google's intelligent ad system- Ads based on the content of the page, and your location.
On a side note, I was just down your way earlier this year. I picked up an old orange Dodge truck bed trailer from a former contractor in Paso Robles, then hauled it all the way back here.

I figured it was something 'intelligent' like that... I guess that's what I get for living in Mexi... wait... California!

That was a long way for a truck bed! I can't find anything local to me for a cheap Ford stepside yet.

I didn't realize Spanish was the state language!
L.A. I could understand now...

Hey I was off FTE for a few years and when I came back I was getting **** ads. I made the mistake of making a comment about it and got lots of feed back to say the least. Haw Haw. Anyway I was told it has to do with the cookies on yer system or like that. I blocked them so you should be able to do the same.

The other way to get rid of the ads is to become a supporter- Click any of the blue supporter tags for more info.

I was down in Santa Maria, and needed to get a bunch of stuff back home. I paid $75 for the trailer, and $100 to throw a set of tires and wheels on it. Way cheaper than a Uhaul, plus I still have it.
