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.

Stop buying new cars until they remove this bullshit. We can go 40 years with existing cars without buying a single new one.

    I have a Renault master from 2016. I'm pretty sure I can squeeze another 50 years out of this diesel bitch with adequate maintenance and care. Plus my other car is an e-bike.

    The cost of used cars isn't much better assuming you don't want a piece of crap. After almost being killed by 2 used cars I'd prefer to not risk it anymore.

    I was very lucky in that I can repair most cars. It's a lot harder now. Before I had a real job, all my vehicles cost less than 3k. If you learn what to look for and to stay safe (brakes, tires) you shouldn't really be in danger with a used car. Now in an accident, some ass in a 30 foot tall dodge truck will kill you, but that's kind of unavoidable even if you're on the sidewalk
