Yes, they are German and you are American, I was just making light of the differences. Just personally, the German way makes more sense and is light years more friendly on cars...which my car is proof of! But again, that's just me. Of course every one has the right to do whatever they want in their cars. I think a thermo-mug full of coffee on the way to work is fine. From my detailing experience, drinking in cars is a lot more detrimental to eating. If you have a closed top thermo-mug, chances are nothing is going to happen. Eating however, it is almost inevitable that crumbs, wrappers, straws, unidentified chunks of sticky crap are going to get literally everywhere. If this was a rusted 89 Camry, fine, but it just amazes me how people overwhelmingly and purposefully neglect late model luxury cars. I've done a 2001 and a 2002 BMW 3 and 5 respectively.....absolutely trashed. Lexus RX300.....trashed. Acura RL and Integra....trashed. Volvo 850....trashed. Not as good, but still..VW New Beetle...trashed.

So I can understand a drink on the way to work or trips, but I don't understand how people can open mobile restaurants in their cars and then as if that wasn't bad enough, they don't give cleaning it up a second look...or any look at all.
