Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight (fuelarc.com)

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.

So I drive a Bronco that's 99% stock. I have a roof rack that I added. I do go offroading, but we also have it to tow behind our motorhome since the bronco is flat towable.

I ran into this guy who's in a new (last 5 years), heavily modded Wrangler. He has the fenders cut away, huge winch on the front, etc... I ask him if he has any favorite spots around here and he says "nah I don't really get out and do that anymore."
