Default 12 Pack & Center Console

Don't slide a 12 pack between the seats sitting on top of the center console. Using the brakes it slides forward and if the ashtray flap is open it can puncture 12 pack cardboard and a can.......

So you're saying we should just do this with bottles?

Why are you drinking beer out of cans in the first place?

That's why I keep all of my beer in the frunk--it fits perfectly.

Now if someone would come up with a design for a rectangular quarter barrel......I get shivers thinking of the possibilities.

A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the
Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are
alcohol related.
This means that the remaining 77% are caused by ******** who drink bottled
water, starbucks, soda, juice, energy drinks, and **** like that.
Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times
as many accidents.
This message is sent to you by someone who is a drinker and worries about
your safety.

Coolers are rectangular! Pony keg in the cooler. Packed tightly in place in the cooler with ice. A long straw from the pony keg, through the firewall. However, beer should not normally be consumed through a straw.

Yah I blew it. Was working this weekend and picked up a 12 pack of cokes and case of water which I threw in the back. The cokes got slid between the seats. Bottles are the only way!

The trunk on my tiptronic might get warmer due to extra transmission radiator. But then we don't have much for winter weather but cooler and extra rain. My trunk does get toasty though.

I'd mention the cuss words I used when the coke started spraying me but I've forgotten due to it being such a tramatic experience. When I heard the leak spring and rolled it over I......yah I remember the words........ Good thing I had bottled water and plenty of detailing towels in the car. I think its pretty much required to have the detailing stuff handy at all times
