>I looked at one new car that comes standard without an ashtray. For $20 or $25 you could buy a "smoker's convenience package" -- a cigarette lighter and an ashtray.

My best friend (lives in Georgia) recently bought a new Nissan Altima. She didn't want to pay for the smoker's package so she said that if she wanted to smoke in her car she would use a water bottle instead. She smokes rarely if at all, and never in her car, but it p_ssed her off that it became an 'accessory package' she had to pay for.

I don't know why the morality police blocked p_ssed... I'm going to have to start using Dragan's terms - now what were they? :o)
