The only exception for a (hot) lady friend is that she can drink all the wine she wants.

1. Yes, why not.
2. Yes, Pepsi for sure.
3. Yes, the wife is uncontrollable. (She will kill me for this.)
4. Some times
5. If they need it, but not cause I am taking the Vert
6. Don't smoke & don't want anyone else smoking in the Vert.

My GS Vert is a DD, so I do most everything I do in my other vehicles.

Smoking is about the only thing I will not allow and certain foods/drinks (greasy crap, sauces, cool aid, etc).

I would be more concered about my gradchildren with ball point pins or other ink containing writing instruments marking up my perforated cashmere leather seats; or with pointed objects like screw-drivers in their pockets which could cut the seats. I wouldn't allow smoking because of burn marks, and the stench it leaves in the interior (and I was an a$$hole who smoked from 14 to 60 years of age).
