My dream car is, ironically, either a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 or a 1970s Australian Falcon XB. Note that these cars don't have any smart shit in them.

We had that. It was called radio. And then Satellite radio. If we could not continue this that would be awesome. Buy an EV they said. No thanks. No new cars of any kind for me.

Be me

Driving 2026 Ford shitbox down 99

Traffic is slowing up ahead

Suddenly the windshield becomes a full-screen ad for Nord VPN

Crash into semi

Just before I black out from the pain, hear from behind me "This traffic accident brought to you by Nord VPN."

I can't wait to see the statistics of how many vehicular manslaughter cases and suicides related to abruptly driving your car into solid barricades, ditches or trees will be because of this.

if they give people those cars freely, why not

edit for the downvotes : i'm not proAdvertisement. I'm just considering a situation where, let's say in a city with a shared car service, you rent cars for a couple of hours you need, instead of owning a car (it already exists in some cities). I guess some people would be willing to see a couple of ads instead of paying for the rental and in that case: why not
