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.

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

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)

All of the above if you sub occasional cigars for cigarettes in all vehicles.

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.
