Things like street takeovers are the reason legislators are eyeballing these cars. It's negative attention. And negative attention directly affects business. Dodge was right to pull the ad. The person who came up with it needs to be reprimanded.

So is this slamming from like, two people? Because I haven’t seen anyone saying a damn thing about it.

Although we have Sidney Sweeney maybe to thank for that.

Look when all you offer is loud and poor traction.... you have to play to your strengths.

On s serious note: The solution to street takeovers in not making them seem more cool by involving regulation. There was another time in history when streets were taken over, a couple really. And likely by the same people complaining the most about street takeovers.

The solution is to have a place where these activities can be done more safely. There are usually at least a few empty parking lots in most Metros.

Now the time slip is being dominated by EVs, a place to ruin rubber that is more regulated is a good idea.
