I use my car. I eat in my cars and I drive my cars. I'm here living once...
That pass thru panel was awesome when I picked up my 10ft driveshaft for my truck!

never ever (learned this the hard way) floor it whil shifting into reverse
my reverse gear is fucked now, sometimes you gotta play with it to get it to go into reverse and even when it does theres one hell of a slam
oh and also never do 115+mph on bad brakes (also another hard lesson learned the same day, see a pattern?)

I use the car as a car! It'* not a beater by any means, nor do I ever beat on it. But I bought it for the purpose of driving it and to crank the miles on. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I washed it. The interior isn't trashed, but there is dirt on the floor and lots of dust on the dash!
And....if I have to haul 2x4s, that pass through panel from the trunk to the back seats is handy!

Anyways, I too eat and drink (no smoking here) in my car. I figure as long as spills are cleaned up and crumbs are vaccuumed-*'all good.

no one night stands in the back seat.
oh and btw whoever said they put their bonne into reverse going 75mph....that aint gonna happen if its 1995+. WSS will block that attempt. Same goes for any GM car after 95. Or maybe not the rinky dink cheap cars, but you know what i mean.

Umm yeah, a 3800 block with cam, timing cover, crank, are bad in the trunk. Especially over the back, WAAAAY back, next to the trunk lock. Can you say bad handling for FWD even?
Eating? Well that lasted a whole month in my car without it. Frankly it'* just a bonneville, and i drive too many long trips to do without nourishment. If someoen else spills, they clean it up/replace.
I keep it clean (gotta go thru it totally tomorrow night) but it'* a 13 year old car, with 130,000 miles. Not a show car, or a weekend toy.
