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.

My 2007 just clicked over to 271K miles and I'm going to keep it running as long as possible. It has all normal bells and whistles of a limited version, but was built before all this madness began. It's a CAR.

We were rocking an 08 Mazda without even power windows up until a few years ago. Even that is too much these days. I'm happier on buses and trains.
