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.

      That seems like a lot of hassle if you’re then going to buy a new car anyway.

        Why would i be buying a new car anyways? I don’t want one, the newest car I’m even interested in purchasing in the future is over a decade old. I just drive my wife’s car when I work on mine.

          He was making fun of a light grammatical error in your post.

          You said ‘I’d rather rebuild the engine then buy a new car’

          What you meant was ‘I’d rather rebuild the engine than buy a new car.’

          “Then” means that you will be doing something subsequently. “Than” means that you will be doing something instead of something else. Normally this is a grammatical nitpick, but it actually changes the meaning of your sentence by using the wrong word.

      Good that you have an older Civic. The newer ones are lemons - Honda cheaped out on the air condenser from 2017-2021, so no AC! The electrical shit in the dash is all kinds of fucked up too.

          Like, I feel so fucked over. I wanted a Civic because they’re usually reliable, and I got a shitbox that gets so hot during the summer that my phone shuts off.

          Really sucked, because Doordash/Uber for cash would be really helpful.

      I drove 80’s and pre 92’ VW’s up until 2019 and now I’m exclusively driving pre 04 VW’s . They are futuristic to me , heated sats , heat , AC its crazy .

      I’ve amassed enough maintenance parts and transmissions to keep me going indefinitely…or until some jackass makes them illegal then I guess I’ll just ride a bike
