Every time I click on a link there, I get inundated with Jeep ads that eventually cause my crappy Netscape browser to lock up and close itself.

It's quite annoying... I go there quite often to read up on auto news... it would be a shame to see them go the pop-up/PITA advertising route.

If they offered a subscription package I would take it in a second as long as it was reasonable, because these ads are making the site unusable. :|

Umm, you found your own problem. Get rid of that piece of #@*& browser!!! I've never had a problem with adds/pop-ups with Edmunds.com and IE6

I have no choice, NS is the browser of choice here at work, and the system is pretty locked down, so I can't even change it!

These ads are brand new, I've never got them before. Try going to the website and clicking on "New" from the main page... that's where the fun begins.

Thing is, the only way I could afford it without living like a bum was to lease it. When I looked at the price to buy the car after the lease, the total with lease + buyout was nearly $50,000.

I'll put a down payment on a house, thanks. ;)
