My dad actually smoked in the car, too. That little ashtray was always stuffed with cigarette butts. Urgh.

Sweaty?? No they were supposed to massage your back as you drove I think?

My dad chain smoked everywhere, car, house everywhere and yeah those lighters weren't that long ago, were they? Or am I just really old now (don't answer that )
