Who took the picture? Who is using it? Are you sure it's your car? Do you have the original photo? Screenshot of the ad pls.

I took the picture and it's a google advertisement. Yes I do it's located in "my garage". If you log out and go to "return to the page previously viewing" it will show up above the threads. I'm not complaining about it I actually feel kinda special that they would use my car

Luckily it is a Google ad. Google is pretty good when it comes to DMCA infringements. Here's a link that will give you a step by step process to remove it. http://www.google.com/dmca.html

And don't feel special, they didn't "pick your car, they just steal based on content and hope people wont find out. They figure setting up that DMCA report form is easier than actually paying for images. Hell, they only brought in $23.6 million in revenue in 2009 (2010 numbers aren't up yet). You can't expect them to actually pay for images! [/rant]
