What? You think "Dodge" and "Ram" weren't based on driver experience?

Some days you Dodge'em, other days you Ram them.

One time I almost changed lanes in my MDX, like a hard change to get around a guy who just stomped on the brakes to turn left. At the last second my spidey senses went off and I stayed put, barely. Then a Lamborghini something or other slowly revealed itself next to me, 10 inches below the bottom of my windows. That would have sucked.

There exists a timeline where I totaled a Lambo, left the scene of the accident, and am still hiding from the law.

The new fords have BSEC's (blind spot elimination cameras) where they post video on the A pillar of what is behind it. There is also a little orange dot which pops up if there is something there.

I am always amazed that as I approach an intersection in my truck, a car approaching from either left or right, can stay in the A pillar blind spot all the way to the intersection. There's some kind of wizardry about that.

I have a 17 Ram 1500 and the blind spot isn't THAT big, but I'm not eye level with the dashboard and mirror.
