I would go for the Focus ST myself but I'm a Ford guy first.

I love those! When you see a couple people racing with them.. it sounds like a star wars re-enactment! And some times a turkey.

... It kinda makes me hungry.

I hated the Gen2's when they came out. Now, everytime I see one with some exterior bling- I'm digging them. So much so that my Gen1 feels insignificant. I always thought mine was more desireable because the 2's were so lame looking.

Fuuu

It's okay, your sense of style is just digressing. That is how the 80's attire made a comebackin the 2010's. Those styles should have stayed dead, but they didn't.

I still prefer the Gen 1 over Gen 2, but I dislike the Gen 2 less now.

I am curious about exterior bling that you like though? 19" chrome wheels with "hella" camber, slammed, and neon? I haven't seen a MS3 with a big wing yet, but I would not discourage anyone from it.

You and me, both. lol

It'll just sometimes randomly start playing a commercial, not visible anywhere, just playing audio, and the last couple times I've come here when I try to click on a thread it takes me to some ad page. I'd suspect some malware on my computer but it only happens on this site.

It has happened on two separate machines now so I really don't think it's malware, at least not on my end.

Oh, it's malware. Must be from all the pr0n. No ads here on 3 PCs and 4 mobile devices.

erod550 · Postby **erod550** » Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:14

One of them is my work laptop, so definitely no pr0n there. And it's really sporadic, and even when it happens it doesn't last. It's really weird.

Maybe it's just an ad from a different tab that's running in the background? That happened to me before. I thought the audio was messed up for a second before I realized that's its coming from another tab.

erod550 · Postby **erod550** » Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:14

Nope. In Chrome you get a little speaker icon on the tab when that tab is playing audio, so it's definitely coming from this tab. Also it has happened more than once clicking the link to go to one of the recent threads on the main page, something that could not be from another tab either.

Try installing Adblock Plus extension?

Good idea, and according to its count it is blocking ads on this page.

I have this problem with my desktop. I was running the windows 8.1 beta way back when and am still running the beta even though it's broken. I logged on and I was wondering when we got ads on this site. My laptop, cell, and tablet don't have any ads.

It probably is malware. My antivirus on the desktop expired and I never renewed it. I just should back up some stuff and reinstall from my copy of Windows 8 and upgrade to 8.1 officially on the desktop. I'm just lazy and hardly ever use the desktop ever since I got my laptop. Same goes with my tablet.

If you're seeing it too then it's probably not on your machine. And on my work laptop (Windows 8) I ran a full deep 6 hour scan and it found nothing. My home desktop (Windows 7) has up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware software as well.

I don't get them on my tablet or phone either, but then it doesn't show up very often and I access this site from those other two computers for about 95% of the time I'm on here.
