Default Advertising FAIL

I have been noticing ads like what I've attached on this site, and I am simply at a loss for words to describe the level of stupid it takes to mix up Toyota and Honda in such a spectacular manner.

umm that is a fail...

the ads you see aren't directly from autoguide. We have them from either google ads or adchoice. In this case ad choice made the error on this one for sure. I tried to enter that url and it led me no where.

Not so much a funny fail, but inappropriate if you're at work:



It leads to "www.join-true.com"

The ads space located on top page of the forum board is through Google Ads. The Ads are generated by your browser cache and search engine history to reflect ads related to your recent browser search engine.

If there are any offensive ads you come across with, we can have it reported to Google to get it blocked. To do so, please PM me the URL link of the ad.

Thanks
