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 you disconnect the car’s cellular network, do the ads go away?

If you can find an antenna it can be blocked or disabled. Basic instructions for a faraday cage can be found very easy.

I'd get rid of that car so fast it would make your head spin. There is no car I'd put up having this garbage to keep

Well I'd put up with an ad-driven free version of a Nissan GTR or so. Easily. But not if I paid for it properly.

I’ve been debating getting a new car after paying a ton to fix up my old one but now I think I’ll keep her forever.

Anybody got a lead on a rebuilt turbo for a 2.0L TSI?

Same boat, big bill this time though. Weighing my options. Not really liking the price, quality, or connectivity of newer vehicles...

Speed run to bankruptcy.
