Hi Folks -

So, for shits/giggles this afternoon, I was perusing Boxsters (S, of course) on Cars.com. I clicked on one of the ads for a local-ish dealer to read more about this one (Silver RS60). Fast forward a few hours later, and I pull up a video on YouTube. Now, I know that they can run ads based on your search history, so the fact that a Cars.com ad came up did not surprise me. What surprised me was that the ad featured the exact same car (from the exact same dealership ) that I was looking at a few hours earlier...

I’m not even mad; that’s amazing...

Yeah, that’s how I get a lot of ads from Malaysian online car classifieds for Cefiros (that aren’t A31s), R34s and 350Zs on browsers I don’t have adblockers for (mainly mobile).

I still get a metric ton of ads for sports bras (I’m not a girl, nor do I have a girlfriend that would appreciate gifts of those), so it’s a mixed bag.

I regularly look at cars just to imagine my life in the future and sometimes when I go on sites that require me to turn off my AdBlocker and all these car ads show up.

I ain’t even mad, it’s just more pictures of cars.
