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.

I want to really know how often this works. Has there ever been a single instance where someone says....."let me read this popular. Oh my! I really should get am extended warranty. Let me just click accept."

And even if they do accept it, what then? Does Dodge expect the person to continue reading the terms of service and enter their credit card info....in their car?
