Who here eats,drinks or smokes in their cars?

Since this is a Mercedes site and we do drive Mercedes I was just wondering how many of you drink, eat or smoke in your Mercedes or other cars you own?

Eat and drink. Nobody smokes in my car unless they wish to eat the cigarette.

It makes it so much easier to clean the interior of my car when nobody eats or drinks in it. Occasionally, I do bring along a water bottle. At least it can't do any damage if it spills. Woe be it to the poor soul that leaks a droplet near the shift gate of a 722.6x, though!

Also, if I ever caught anybody lighting up in my car....Yeah man, I'd likely speed up, pop open the passenger side door via a hidden remote and pitch them out the door via a lateral ejection switch (special custom-fabricated apparatus). This would result in a subsequent hanging while their bodies dangled about helplessly being bloodied along the tarmac while traveling at over one hundred ft per sec.
This is assuming they wear their belts...Otherwise they'd simply get their brains squashed.

Anybody wanna ride?

The other day I was cruisin on the highway smokin a camel, and I dropped it and it went under the seat where I couldn't get it. I pulled over as fast as I could to try and get it, but it was impossible. What did I do? I opened my water and poured it on the carpet! What could I do? Its still there too. My car is not nice so I suppose there's no reason to be anal about it. Now, when I do buy a newer nicer car, and I am saving for one, I probably will keep smoking and eating to a minimum.

In my car:

Dirty shoes: Banned
Food: Banned except on trips
Drink: Banned except on trips (and resealable containers only)
Smoke: Ultra Banned - I'll kick you out and try to run you down with the car...


My wife is pretty much the same way about her 300E. She's probably a bit more food lenient.

I don't smoke, so that's out. All three of the Benzes are toys that I drive on pretty days, so I don't eat or drink in them. I have a daily-driving LS430 in which I will eat and drink, if I have to. Generally, I don't feel the need to eat or drink just for the hell of it while driving - I drive fast, so the fewer distractions the better.

Yes - But not alcoholic beverages.
Yes – We have Sonics down here.
No – Never. Not out of it either.

Oddly enough, I smoke in mine but I don't allow eating or drinking. Yeah, yeah, I know but then I've never been accused of being logical.

No, no one is allowed to smoke in my cars.



If we are on a roadtrip or something, then yes, we will eat and drink in the car.


For short trips, no food or drink allowed. I tried to let some people eat in it once, and found 3 firesauce packets under the seat....


The SL and G still smell like leather inside. The TE kinda does, but the C has MB Tex, and the 190 is my little sisters car.... She abuses it... Smells bad on the inside.

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
