Good point, Barrie. I don't commute, myself, but on those occasions when I'm
forced to go out in traffic, a cup of coffee gives me something to do while
sitting in jams, now that the radio doesn't work <g>.
On pleasure drives I don't attempt to carry any refreshments... obviously
one needs both hands (and feet). But it's handy to have someplace to safely
carry a coffee-to-go on the way to early morning rally starts or club runs,
so you can warm up while waiting to check in.
Yeah, coffee addicts are a pretty pitiful bunch, I admit...
