The website allowsreaders to select backgrounds, video shots, and input text in an attempt to win prizes ranging from a Jackson HoleGetaway to a trip to the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.</p>
<p>Rather predictably, however, certain surfers have been using the spot-building website for purposes thatdon't exactly put Chevrolet's newest in the best light. Unfortunately, GM's webmeisters appear to be asleepat the wheel, as we can't imagine these derogatory ads&nbsp;staying up on purpose. </p>
