Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display (fuelarc.com)

Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

Time to go get a Kei Truck and put an Android tablet in it.

Kei Kei's delivery service.

I sometimes feel shortchanged as an American (no healthcare, FUUUUCK), but I only get real mad about it when I think about how we don't get Hiluxes and Kei trucks.

Order a Slate pickup. Buy what you want and only what you want. And add things later as you want or buy that tablet from amazon and a bluetooth speaker and install it yourself.
