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.

Aptera, what I'm waiting for. They claim they will have all parts available online for easy repairs, and IMO it's just a really cool car concept.

OMG, Car AI....

You seem to be hungry, maybe hangry, you haven't eaten in a while. Sheets is open and has fresh hot food! You know that coffee you got 2 hours ago should be wearing off, don't you want to stop for a bathroom break? Their restrooms are cleaned hourly!

I drive an ‘03 Lexus SC430. No dealer locked bs, never has issues, documentation easily obtainable, new OEM parts still sold.

Basically a Linux car.
