these popups are ridiculous.. i will be sure to never buy a Dodge Journey, or let any family or friends buy one.

but i understand.. with a car that ugly, you need all the advertisement you can get.

You must be one of the lucky ones than since the ads annoyed the hell out of me yesterday on my iPad. Today, I decided to surf from my desktop. Ads aren't covering the screen like they were on my iPad; however, like others have posted, I'm seeing them at the bottom of every post. One other difference, yesterday was VW. Today was Dodge. At least the ads could be for some motorcycle parts.

Yup, complete BS. There is another HD forum I don't visit very often for this exact reason.

you have to pay the bills it's not as bad as whole screen flash rollovers that some sites are using these days.

Even if I was considering buying a Dodge Journey, I wouldn't now.

If I want to buy something, I'll buy it.

I don't need someone calling me, knocking on my door, or running ads completely unrelated to the site I'm visiting on the internet, trying to sell me something.

I hope this site is generating a lot of revenue running these pop-ups, because I see a lot of us moving away from this site if this continues.

As I'm scrolling down on iPhone it pops up quick & I tap it & then I gotta go back a page and then forward again to read a post. Hopefully this doesn't last long cause I'm just getting to know my way around this site.

I've got firefox, and just updated the ad blocker. Now that I've restarted my computer they're blocked.
