I don't, and consider it as poor an idea as yakking or texting while driving.

There's a reason why there's a steering wheel and a windshield in front of you, instead of a dining room table, or a TV, or both.

I ate a Midnight Truffle Blizzard from Dairy Queen on my way home this evening from shopping. Like I really needed it and me on a diet! It was good though.

Normally, no, I dont eat in the car.

Yep, one handed, no-look foods is my mobile dining regimine. If I have to look to keep my fingers out of a sauce, or have to use both hands to navigate it into my gullet, it is off the menu.

burgers, chicken fingers, fries, soft tacos, sandwiches, fruit, chips, etc, etc, etc.... fine and dandy. I do tend to try to stay neat and away from crumbly foods like crispy tacos and fried chicken. Really greasy things that make my fingers slick, also a no-no.

Lastly, if the drink don't fit the cup holder, it stays in the kitchen. I learned that the hard way on the way home from the drive thru when the cup popped it's lid and gushed over the top as I squeezed it too hard between my legs as I turned the corner. It is a royal pain to clean up 96 ounces of diet coke in rush hour traffic.

Coldjensens, that makes lots of sense. But please don't linger next to the driver's door of a big truck with your dome light on and a blanket on your lap at night...
