Generally no to all three. On longer trips a water bottle will be present, and once in a great while I'll smoke in the 240 on a long enough trip.

Sometimes my buddy and I will take a 6 pack for the road if its going to be a long trip. Sadly there is no place to put my beer so it ends up sitting on the plastic behind the shifter, not on the wood...need a coaster for that.

I don't smoke, and I have told my friends that do if they try they will get a swift kick out of the car and be walking.

six pack

A long, long time ago I used to measure trips by the amount of beer it would take to get to the destination.

Manchester, NH to Boston: 4 beers

Wilton (southern), CT to Boston: 12 pack.

Used to smoke a little and that helped on the long drives. Could roll with one hand

NO smoking EVER in my cars
Eating's cool, I drop a french fry or two sometimes but I always clean it up.
Drinking's all good because I need a drink with the food (no alcohol though)

Waiting for that to be taken out of context.

Does it have anything to do with dirty shoes?

I used to smoke in my Benz every day, but we quit driving it to work when we got the Jetta. We smoke in that occasionally.

Drinks? Sure. Every trip. I mean every one.

Food only on long trips.

X2. I made an exception just ONCE and that was for a neighbor I had to fetch from the hospital after open heart surgery, poor guy was starving and had me drive him to the deli for a sandwhich. Driving home, he nailed that thing so fast narry a crumb fell from his lips.

Yeah, but you still had a LOT to say about it . . . .
