(Well, who could blame them? If I had a big, beautiful, muscular, 8-cylinder, solid-steel car like that and if gas was, like, four cents a gallon, I'd never want to get out of it, either.) Still ... I'd rather receive my hamburger and fries through a transparent pneumatic tube. And the restaurant should be covered by a transparent Plexiglas dome. Trays and trestles are sooo 1886.
