At least we have gotten them banned from school campuses, hospitals and (hopefully soon?) military installations?
You've got them banned in public places in Illinois too!

POT, hmmm...I guess that's better than sin sticks.

LOL?

By turbulence do you mean "hurricane season centered in my smart"?

Since my cabrio is brand spanking new, and me being a smoker, I made the decision to never smoke in my new smart.

I have an electronic cigarette that I use in the car. No ash, no stink, but I still get my nic-fix and still exhale "smoke" (actually vapor).

A real cigarette in an open cab just invites burn holes and ash everywhere !!

How'bout you mind your own damned business and don't bother trying to tell me what I can and cannot do in the privacy of my own home and automobile.

Oh, and while you're at it, go learn when it's not appropriate to use a question mark.

Of course we are. What else would you call it when one group of people tries to impose its will on another group?

And, it's all my fault, of course, because I had the damned gall to mention a taboo subject. How un-PC of me.

Pines grow in height during the spring and summer; at these times they are also growing pine needles.

I agree... I have the optional smart windscreen, which replaces the roll bar cover and stretches from the top of the roll bar to the top of the trunk level. It works well with the top all the way down, but not when the top is in stage 1, or when the windows are down.
