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.

Why do they keep trying to sell us things to improve "my lifestyle."

My lifestyle is pretty much work, then coming home to do errands, maybe video games. I don't need tacky truck nuts or whatever they're selling.
