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 had never heard of Stellantis until the comments on this post.

That's at least a little good news, but I want day-after total zero existence for stunts like this.

As in executed the day after murder kind of immediate punishment. In this case, total, irrevocable punishment.

C suite people literally living in shelters fighting for leftovers at a food bank after paying out years of employee salaries and benefits kind of punishment.

You can't just fine people like this for crimes. You have to actually take away money and the ability to accrue more than enough to live on.

Wow, if you’re this fired up about car dashboard ads, wait until you hear what Google’s been doing with your data.

Yeah I'm not exactly happy about that either.

I was trying to stay on topic about this. That's a whole different rant.

Plus, things spread before they get worse. This is a line that shouldn't be crossed by anything in any way. The inside of my car is a nice little island. It should stay that way.

I feel pretty much everybody would agree with that. Even the ones open to it probably just want to make the money from it without having to deal with it themselves.

I dunno about anyone else but you can slide into my DMs with that rant since i ain't getting visited by the fediverse chic anyways
