If there's one thing I won't do, and actually there are quite a few, is eat in my vehicle. Had to do it when I was younger and when the kids were little we always had snacks for them on a long trip (Cheerios all over). Mrs. NBP does and every one of her cars smell like french fries.

Youngest son hauled a WaWa sub into my new truck a couple weeks ago and unwrapped it. I pulled over and told him he had two choices-rewrap the sandwich until we got home in 15 minutes or get out and eat the damn thing on the side of the road. He was able to eat it in the living room. He knows better.

That, and people riding with their feet on the dash/out the window (and I've seen drivers with their left foot out the window) drive me crazy.

I will cop to drinking coffee when I'm driving.

When I bought my SHO I found Cheetos in the map pockets in the back seat.

The feet on the dash/out the window thing doesnt bother me. Heck as a teen I drove with my foot out the window..........because I could

Didn't you know that the folks who ride with their feet on the dashboard have decided that what they REALLY want most in life is to to be able to brag about having a dislocated hip?
Yup! Once those airbags deploy, they will get their wish.

And, the ones who ride with their feet outside the car have decided that this is easier than bathing on a regular basis.

Depends on the feet.

Some people live their lives as an exercise in what the worst possible situation may be. Others just face what happens, and don't concern themselves with the least likely scenario.


I've been using drop stops for years. Mine are called towels, and they serve lots of purposes.

They'd be good for things other than food too. There's no food in my cars, but I can't count the number of times my wife has been sitting in the passenger seat and has dropped her phone or a pen or other random crap through that space.
