Can coffee cup lodged on roof work as practical joke, or is an accident waiting to happen?
Q. As an upcoming college freshman, in a fit of my newfound freedom, I want to add a comical touch to my car (when and if I ever get one). I was thinking about gluing a coffee mug onto the roof of my car right above the driver’s seat, as if I forgot my morning coffee. I think it would be funny to see me driving down the highway, 70 mph, with my forgotten drink clinging to the roof of my car for dear life. I have two questions: (1) What glue do you guys suggest so as not to have the paint eaten off the roof of my car? Or some other form of attachment to keep the mug on the car? (2) Do you guys think this is funny? Because I want my most honorable Car Talk Guys’ stamp of approval of humor before I go ahead with my prank on the world. Thank you very much. TOM: I think it’s very clever. I know there are serious people all over the place who will disagree with me, but I think we all need a few more laughs these days. So I’m for all for it. RAY: I think the only concerns you need to consider
