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 this ever happens to any car I buy, it'd be going right back to the dealer.

I bet you might have a court case if you could prove that the dealer had disabled this advertising “feature” during your test drive.

I would drive it straight back into the dealership through their display room window.

No you wouldn't.

Of course he would. If he stopped outside he'd have to watch another fucking ad.
