Default Chevy ad???

Can someone 'splain to me this: Before I signed in on the main FRF homepage, in the place of where the 4 random pictures that members upload, there was an ad banner for the Chevy Silverado....really? Ford can't buy/afford space on a support website? I see where the bailout money is going.

I logged out, then opened FRF. The ad is a Ford ad - "Best power and capability?, top 7 fuel efficient vehicles?
It is NOT a chevy ad.

This is it. I am not high.

It must be regional.

I'm betting they are ads tailored to your cookies and recent browsing history, or something of the sort.

I dont believe frf has any ad contracts with anyone. Ads are usually placed on a site based on relevance. Frf is a truck site, therefore it will have truck ads and whatnot.

The only Chevy I've looked at is the one plastered in the ad itself. Sorry to burst your collective bubbles.
