    I can't believe they think this is a good idea.

    So Jeep has started allowing pop up ads on screens, in only one model so far from what I read, but will this expand to other models, or even other makes within Stellantis? I'm hoping they'd only be while the vehicle is stationary, and in park, but I don't know this for sure. Would this stop you...

When I touched it, it was...

    I was reading the Post a Picture of Your Ride thread the other day, and JD referred to an Audi RS6, I think, as a lottery car. I thought to myself, that is worthy of a whole new thread. I could have made it about dream cars, but that seemed to easy. I think we need some limits, so I think we say...

    Design Flaws

    We all love our vehicles, but there is probably something about them that you find annoying or might even be dangerous. You may have noticed before you bought it, but you wanted it so much that it didn't matter, or you may not have noticed till it was too late. See my examples below. My FJ has...
