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.

If we had actual regulation here this would be illegal for distracting driving.

Illegal to look at phone (I know everyone does it and isn't enforced, but still illegal on paper) but not illegal to watch this short message from our sponsors?

I hate living through a bad joke. Much rather read about this shit and laugh then wondering what the next stupid thing is.
