Oh no, not this again.

Ad space is SOLD to anybody who will pay. Guess what? Toyota pays for it! Just don't look at them. I hadn't even noticed the ads until I read this post. They can advertise all they want; it still won't make me buy one.

Use Firefox for your web browser. it has an application called ad blocker that you can install and when you get to sites like this one that has a bunch of ads on it, you can block them.
IE7 has something like this too, but when I tried it, it made the browser unstable.

But when a site has these ads you can right click on them and tell it to block these images. It makes this site a lot easier to use. I had forgotten about all these ads since its been so long since i blocked all of them.

They all say they have the most HP in their class.

What they do, is they take the 5.7L in the Tundra and compare it with the 4.7 V8 (Dodge), the 5.3L (Chevy), and the 5.4L (Ford). Ford does the same thing if they can, so does Chevrolet, so does Dodge. They all do it when they know their top engine has less HP/TQ than the others' top engines.

The do the opposite with MPG. "Has best MPG..." when they compare their 5.3L with the 5.7L, rather than the 4.7. Sometimes they even compare a 2WD with a 4WD.

They all have their ways of manipulating the data. Just gotta know the topic, and ya gotta read the fine print.

IE7 unstable? What? Microsoft products NEVER have problems...

LMAO, That made my day. I like Microsoft for an OS, but I am not very fond with their other programs. Especially, when they rush an update out, and dont work all the bugs out.
