So I was on a thread, and the typical sponsers were on the side. THEN, an ad for Obama. WTH. Why are thier politics on TGO? His policies would like to kill our hobby, and our love for old cars.

Re: Wth

A site as large and active as ThirdGen incurs quite a bit of expenses to operate, aside from the fact we are also owned by a for-profit company. Because of this, there are ads that help pay for the expense of the site and business model.

I suspect the ad you seen was a Google ad that you might find on other websites that use Google ads. While we can block specific ads as they appear, we do not pick and/or support all the ads that you may see from Google.

Just as you may see a few non-GM (Ford, Toyota, etc.) ads by Google, you many ads that are non-ThirdGen related and are simply required to sustain the business model.
