Post Smokers?

Where would the driver who smokes extinguis his/her cigarette? There is no ashtray for the driver?

Just curious, I don't smoke, but thought it was interesting..

I believe they just toss it out the window if they didn't buy the optional ashtray that goes where our coinholder goes.

You can buy TL cig lighters and ashtrays from an Acura dealer in SoCal. No smoke in my TL though.

I heard some dealers were charging about $90 for a lighter when you ordered it with the car! Thieves!

No lie - ashtray and lighter was like $170 total. I was too lazy to find the lighter and new fuse myself... (Damn lazy smokers)

I toss it out the window or into my left over drink or something. Same as my Bimmer, although it has an ashtray.

please don't drop your ashes out the window. it's illegal and could start a fire. not to mention that it's tacky. C'mon now, we're civilized TL drivers.

How can anyone stink up their TL with nasty smoke? I love my TL too much to have anybody smoke in it. As a matter of fact, I don't let anybody eat in it either. The only thing they can do is breathe and drink like soda or water only, no coffee. I am very strict when it comes to my TL.

I'm definitely going to need an ashtray & lighter, I don't smoke cigs, but a nice cigar on the drive home always hits the spot after a long day at work.

I just ordered a TL with burlwood knob, meter wood trim and lighter and ashtray. Won't arrive for another 2 weeks.

I'm a cigar smoker too.

Can't believe I have to pay for an ashtray.
Now I'm worried cause I just found out I don't have a coin tray

Oh well!

Just put your change in the spot between the seat heater switches. It stays pretty good there and won't fall out on the first hill or sharp braking.

"NOT AN ASHTRAY" <~~~ me and my friend literally laughed for hours about that... call us weird... I'm a smoker and I smoke in my TL (I miss that new car smell SOOO much) but the thing that bugs me out is there are ashtrays in all the doors EXCEPT for the driver!!! Instead of wasting the money on the little red cloth and the "NOT AN ASHTRAY" sticker maybe they could've just put an actual ashtray and lighter there instead of the coinholder that just throws the change under the radio never to be seen again! Just my opinion.....

Same here... and the good thing about it is there is much much less smell in the car this way vs. using the ashtray...
...and I am willing to pay a fine if a cop catches me throwing a cigarete out of the window... but I bet unless it lands on his hood or in his window he won't bother...

I have plenty of Cuban Cohibas. Hell, I've had them for so long I think they're actually going dry now...stopped maintaining the humidor for a long time now.

Tubora,

The stronger a cigar is the better it is for me

Ace,

You shouldn't let those fine cigars go to waste. Of course you can always send them to me. I'll take REAL good care of them for you

One at a time! LOL
