Eating in the Vette
I was in a hurry the other day and had to eat Taco Bell in the Vette
I never do this due to my belief in the Cardinal Sin "Thou Shall Not Eat in They Vette" Am I the only one or this is no big deal?

Not only would I never eat in the Vette, I would NEVER, NEVER, NEVER take my Vette to Taco Bell. Too many idiots driving around a place like that! Just like Wal-Mart! 
There are just some places I won't drive the Vette. I have a truck for those places.
Edit: Please don't misunderstand me. I was not implying that anyone that eats at Taco Bell or shops at Wal-Mart is an idiot. I eat there all the time myself. What I meant was it's just a high traffic area and more of a chance for the Vette to get in a scrape.

The only food I'd ever eat in the Vette is White Castles. They're designed to be driving food. But no soda, only water (I'll probably spill it on myself).

I use to not eat in the Vette but things have changed now...I am very careful when I eat in the Vette, not dropping or spilling anything...I use to be "insaine" and not eat anything in the Vette...(eating in their Vette sorta like a "normal" person would do)
...and BTW...it would be difficult to find a cleaner Vette(inside) than mine
And also...I don't eat a 4 course meal...I just eat a grilled chicken sandwich and an ice tea

Well, I didn't actually eat in mine, but had to do a food run for the people at work. One of the coke cup tilted sideways and of course the contents poured and spilled into the passenger seat and the carpet. Had to dry it up right away with towel the same night and removed the seats and cleaned the carpet with damp towel -had to do this a few times until the wringed out water was clear and not tea colored.

I eat in the car - I'm just very careful with the food. The car can be cleaned if a crumb or two falls on the floor.

I'm **** about my Z06 but my wife and I have eaten in it on occasion. We're not especially careful and as a rule we don't spill anything.
Unless you're a slob or when you eat it looks more like a wood chipper, most folks are pretty careful so it shouldn't be a revelation to eat in it...

You shouldn't have said "never" since obviously you DO eat in your Vette. Would I? Not only no, but Hell No!

I eat, drink, spill, and park in the closest spot available at walmart in my Z06. Actually had Arby's drive through yesterday, bag split open and I bet I still have a few fries laying around in there. Good times.
