I sometimes wonder if my current car will be my last new car. My car has some tracking that I can supposedly disable, so I understand the appeal of classic cars more. I might have to pick up a mint condition early 2000s car for my midlife crisis.
I got a Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear from 1995 for my crisis. Its a cool vehicle tho.
I see an MX5 and track days in your future.
Yet another car I’ll never buy.

Oh, I would definitely hit that call button. Then proceed to ask a bunch of stupid questions and wast as much time as possible.
Bold of you to assume dodge can't afford the 15¢ an hour they pay to some poor soul in bangledesh.
First question: What the hell is this?
Second question: What the hell is wrong with you people?

I chose the right decade to give up driving.
I chose the right decade to get a car without any options whatsoever
My 2007 just clicked over to 271K miles and I'm going to keep it running as long as possible. It has all normal bells and whistles of a limited version, but was built before all this madness began. It's a CAR.

Just make a list of advertisers who actually advertise in these, and actively avoid & shame them. It is fair that they try new things out, but the problem is, when the consumers accept them.
Well, that's truly horrible, but at least it can distract you from the fact you are in a car like that for some reason. Unless it's an ad for the a newer model.
Excited to see what cool things people can do with a jailbroken car.
They picked some good frogs to test this on
And so it begins.
