Video: "eco drivethrough-ing"!

Saving a bit of gas and burning off a few calories before stocking up on some more...



Anybody recognize the vehicle??

I could think of some easier ones to push!

Yeah, but obviously not as fun. And wouldn't have burned as many calories. :P

Was that a Dodge Caravan?
From what I could see it was some form of Chrysler product.
And yes it would be easier to just walk in.

Yeah, I think 'fun' is the operative word here, not 'easier'!
As a teenager (many years ago..) a buddy and I walked (sans car) through a McDonalds drive-through just for giggles. When we got up to the window, the girl didn't miss a beat, she held out the bag of food and asked, "Is your window rolled down?"

It probly is one of the Jeeps, I missed the squared front the first time i watched.
For fun as a quasi-adult we once went to Mcdees and ordered the Mac meal, then drove to another Mcdees and as soon as we got to the window we handed the bag back and said "That'll be $4.78 please".
Everyone in the car was ROFL but the girl in the window was not happy.
Oh well, fun for us is not always for them.

heh... Thats just as fun as going through the drive through in the Delorean..You have to make sure there is overhead clearance for the door since the food wont fit through the little window on the side, unless they pass it to you, fry by fry.
