I like it, too! The site design works really well with the black ads. Have you tested adding ad blocks to the bottom of the page?
I was planning on doing that in the future. I'm not sure how many clicks i would get from those but it's worth a try.
what template is that...can I get a copy I have a bunch of car domians I would like to turn into sites and this is a nice theme for it.....and as far as ad placement goes it looks good you just need some link units
