I didn't see any other BCs today, L or otherwise, but I did drive my
LBC at
work. If anyone tells you your car isn't practical, tell him that you know
someone who delivers pizza in one (top down, natch :).
Speaking of putting the top down, in case anyone needs more reason to
not buy
form V*ck* Br*t, the quarter window SNAPPED in half when I was putting the top
down on my car Tuesday. It was high 40s or low 50s, so I understand it wasn't as
pliable as it would be in 90: summer heat, but I don't get snapping in half.
