Default What the!?!?

This is more F'd up than a football bat. Trying to read about Jimmie Johnson's resto-mod Vette and and advertisement for the 2015 Lincoln MKZ pops up!

I'm not against blue oval products, I've even owned a couple, but can't we find a better place for this advertisement?

I find if you don't log in, you will get all kinds of ads, videos etc that slow the heck out of this site.
I now log in all the time, and never get those ads or video's.

I know, I just found it humorous that there was a Lincoln advertisement on an image of a Corvette and was trying to make light of it.

Sometimes I forget that sarcasm doesn't really make it across to the other end on internet forums.

Until I saw the photo you posted, I never realized how much bigger a C3 Corvette was in comparison to a new Lincoln.

Amazing!

Dang, what a perfect way to desecrate a great photo of a C3.

Lincoln may go out of business if they keep designing such ugly cars.
