1. It looks like a hodgepodge of different software packages. UNinviting.

2. "Gentlemen's Cafe"? "You're not from around here, are you?"

I think the first thing you need to do is put something prominent on the home page that provides real and distinctive value. What do you offer that would make someone want to bookmark your site and come back? I had to click on navigation buttons to find that sort of info.

Also, one of the first things I noticed was a bad typo in the title line: "artciles"

Of course there are WAY too many Google ads. They're a dead giveaway. As soon as I saw them I knew that you don't really care much about cars. You just want Adsense revenue. Goodbye!

But, since I'm bored I thought I'd look around a little more...

Okay, the six hyperlinks immediately under the header (Welcome to...) are TOTALLY redundant with the navigation buttons immediately above the header. That's bad form. You're wasting my time again. This real estate (on the screen) is too valuable for redundant navigation features.

The "Top New Ads" section has a few obvious problems. The thumbnails are too small to be appealing... they need to be big enough that the cars are recognizeable! Also, all the text runs together and is thus totally uninviting to read.

The internet is a pretty dumb place for automotive classified ads anyway. Who buys a car or motorcycle that's so far from home?... Sight unseen?... From a buyer they don't know?... (Oh yeah... I forgot about all those idiots that get ripped off on eBay.)

The navigation buttons that take people away from your site are a loser. DEFINITELY lose the "Gentleman's Cafe" forum link (unless you're really hard-up and trying to meet men online - and even then the link doesn't seem to belong on this site.)

Are your articles in blatant violation of copyrights, or do they just look like it? I bet I can find all of them other places on the internet!

I think you should include an "about us" explaining your qualifications and "mission".
