veloce, that is awesome. No bottles or beer cans to fall out when the cop opens the passenger side door. I think you guys actually one-upped the beer-helmet.
A little further OT: Odd to think how drinking and driving (actually, drinking while driving) was so common back then. You actually had to be drunk to get a DWI. Now if you blow a .08 you're seen as only slightly better than a convicted child sex offender. And whereas in the past, certain things like swerving across the centerline, driving way under the speed limit, or plowing through the ditch after decapitating a few mailboxes was probable cause to get pulled over and checked, now it seems like having a certain color car is enough to get you stopped. It's gotten to where I'm afraid to have a beer or two on the rare occasion I go out for dinner. As someone who still cycles every once in a while, I'm as scared of drunk drivers as anyone, but I'm just as scared of tired drivers, old drivers, medicated drivers, blind drivers, cell-phone using drivers, young drivers, uninsurable drivers, etc. Why don't we castigate them along with alcohol-influenced drivers? They, too, are making a conscious decision to get behind the wheel with a known impairment to their ability to drive. I guess they have better lobbyists. :/
Now, back to botas.
