I can deal with ad when watching TV or YouTube. But ads in the car, even while stopped, is just begging for someone to get killed. Will never even consider getting a jeep. I'm probably gonna have to get a new car in a couple of years and I want something new, but dumb. I want as little smart shit as possible, which is probably not going to be a thing.

Agreed. Designing in a feature that presents users with something that's deliberately designed to be as distracting and attention grabbing as possible during a time when they should have their undivided attention on driving is asking for trouble.

On that note, LED billboards run up along the side of roads should be illegal and at very least have dimmers to prevent them from blinding drivers at night.

i can't! i really hate ads, they're so loud and obnoxious, they're like jump scares every time they come on! ugh! this car would be like my idea of a nightmare!

I use ad breaks in vids to answer texts/emails or take a piss or whatever. Intrusive ads that take up entire pages on a site are the worst tho. Those can fuck off.

do you mute them or something? i don't think i could focus on reading anything with that shit blaring in the background!

I just tune ads out. I got ADHD, so it's really easy for me to get distracted and completely tune things out. It's useful in some situations, but mostly sucks lmao.

There’s still Caterhams and Ginettas.

Although on second thoughts they’re probably not allowed in a country where the inhabitants can’t be trusted with a Kinder surprise egg.

The ads aside, nothing from the Stellantis family should be on your radar anyway

But I quite like the latest Maserati.

That’s a good example, considering its Ferrari/Lamborghini maintenance costs, to compare with Volkswagen’s Mercedes/BMW maintenance/repair costs.

If I could afford one I don’t think I’d be too worried about maintenance costs, it’s not a car I would buy with my head.

I was just pointing out that not everything Stellantis sells is a bland box on wheels.

Get an old Jeep 40s-2001 were prim- ya know what don't get an old Jeep. I don't want the competition.

How hard up for money could they possibly be? It's such an insane move.
