You guys are hilarious... I drink coffee in my cars from a cup made for commuters. It has a tight fitting lid with a small opening to sip from. It fits snuggly in the cup holder and it never spills. I obviously do not drink from it when heavy traffic dictates full attention, but while cruising along on the wide-open highway it is quite easy to drink your coffee and not be distracted in the least. I do not even have to take my eyes off the road ahead to do so. I occasionally smoke cigars in my cars, too, but of course I crack the window open. The car does not smell in the least. I do not leave the butts in the car. When I'm done with the cigar, it gets ejected out the window. It's just a leaf (biodegradeable, and all that...) I have a black Labrador Retriever. He loves to go for rides in my cars. I love to take him along. You'll often see us tooling around together in the evening in my Z3 roadster with the top down. He sheds some hair. I vacuum it up later. He puts his nose on a window or two now and then. Windex works quite well on nose prints. Here's the key: I clean my cars regularly, inside and out. If you take care of them by cleaning, there is no reason to forbid all activity that might "soil" the interior. Heck, it's just a car... -Fred W
