Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

    I’d get rid of that car so fast it would make your head spin. There is no car I’d put up having this garbage to keep

      Well I’d put up with an ad-driven free version of a Nissan GTR or so. Easily. But not if I paid for it properly.

        Absolutely not. The “I’d deal with it if I get [nice thing] for less” mindset is the entire reason we’re in this situation to begin with. Companies see that people will put up with it, realize data collection from that is where the real money is made, then it leaches into everything else.

        Fuck ads entirely.
