This is the second thread tonight that I have seen this ad. Looks like blatant advertising to me.

Wayne, is this what we should expect to see on this site, advertising for other commercial companies?

this isn't Wayne's fault. The original poster linked to an image on an external server (as opposed to uploading one, or pointing to one on their own server). The ISP evidently doesn't like so many hits, so the pop the substitute ad graphic.

And they did it a nice way. I have heard of people changing files linked externally to something, well, "interesting". Like dead bodies, or gay porn.

I agree, I did not mean to imply that anything was Wayne's fault. I just wanted to alert Wayne that something was not right here.

If they aren't Boxster wheels, they are darn close. The trouble is the wheels on that car look like 18's, and the Boxster wheels are 17's.

Here is an `03 Boxster wheel:
