Hookah In The Car Wile Cruising.

[Link]

I've never tried this. But with a passenger involved I wouldn't be against it. Maybe this weekend... haha I bet the looks from the drive thru peeps were hilarious.

[ashes87]

I would think driving and having a hookah thats not the Leila is asking for trouble. Just wait till you get to where you are going, or pull over and take a 30 min, hour break and just relax to a bowl then.

[Jacob Shock]

you can use a mod bowl with the built in windcover. when it snaps shut coals aint coming out. we just made a foil rim around the bowl and it worked fine.

and the driver should be very careful of corse.

shows i shouldn't post on exam days, getting my posts mixed up....... nothing was said about a bambino..... wow i'm tired....... i'm gunna stop now.

i think a hookah in car belongs there as much as a tv in a car..people are distracted enough has it is with there cell phones, tuning into radio stations, and putting on make up..you make 1 turn coals go flying and your trying to keep your balls from being cooked and god knows who or what you hit..its really not that serious..lol i find it funny how people cant wait to get somewhere to smoke..a hookah is supposed to be something you kick back and enjoy..not something you put your life and other peoples life at risk cause you need your "fix"

I love my in dash TV in my truck and I have never been distracted by it enough for it to effect my driving. I know when you drive its your responsibility to be safe but honestly some people can do certain things while driving while others cant. For instance I cant txt and drive at all. Whenever I try I usually swerve so I dont txt when I'm behind the wheel however my friend can txt and it does not effect his driving what so ever. All I'm saying is if some people have the ability to smoke and drive safely I have no problem with that.

And I know someone's response is probably going to be "Well if you think that way then drinking and driving should be legal for those who can drive well when drunk." And that is not at all what I'm trying to say. Alcohol is a chemical that alters your state of mind and can effect your reflexes. It is not a simple distraction like a tv, phone, smoking ect.

Now then with all that being said I wouldnt be able to smoke in a car unless I had a layla. I just feel that for me it would be too much of a distraction.

I have family in your neck of the woods. So I'm up there now and then...... You think you drive okay with your in dash TV on, maybe those beside you on the road don't agree. But for the sake of argument let me say only this...... If I'm in the other car in an accident with you, and your TV is going, I'm going to walk away being able to blame the accident on you due to the distraction factor. The cops will agree, and when I take you to court and sue you which I will, I will probably end up owning everything you now own. And if someone should be severely injured or God forbid die, you're going to jail.

Does no one get the point that some things are just not worth the price of admission?

Driving with distractions is just stupid. The odds of you killing someone behind tons of metal going fast, no matter how small those odds, are just not worth it. It does no damned good for you to tell the family of that small child in the back seat that it was safe "enough" for you to risk it. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Some shit just shouldn't be done. And knowing the difference is what separates the grown ups from the children.

Good points Rani I completely understand what you are saying, and yes I know what the ramifications would be if I was to get in an accident with my tv on. Everything you said is completely valid.

[agstevens]

I was thinking about doing that a while ago, but people are right the smoke would be a distraction, coals are dangerious. Thats why i decided it be best not to do it.

[NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD]

another thing is especially if your smoking with something that gives huge smoke clouds like tangiers..the drivers view can be blocked for a split second and thats all it takes for something to happen..yes im sure the windows would be open and that wouldnt happen in a million years.......unless its the colder season

<--does not belong on the road

[Chreees]

*Sigh* Another one of these threads...

Keep it off the road, people. I think you're probably okay with the Leila, but any other hookah is just plain dangerous.

[joytron]

Just curious how do you guys change and light the coals for the leila in the car?

[delSol_si]

I agree 100% with everything Rani has said. Do I think I could safely drive with a hookah in the car? Yes, if I was careful. Do I want to try it? no Is it worth the possibility of something back happening? no

I think it becomes funny when people try to figure out what all they can do while driving instead of say...driving.

Also, do I want that woman who is talking on her cellphone while putting on lipstick and smoking a cigg to be messing with a hookah while cutting me off and driving like a jackass? no

'Rani

I'm shocked that such an adult individual cant even entertain the idea that some of us would be perfectly capable of smoking hookah safely in our vehicles. The hookah is set and forget in the cup holder, with coals enclosed and the hookah stabilized. At that point the only thing the drivers doing is holding the hose and puffing on it; how is that any more dangerous than smoking a cigarette while driving? Yet thousands of those people are on the road without endangering anyone. Just because you CANT do something doesn't mean that everyone else is incapable. While I personally dont smoke hookah in my car, I think that it is perfectly alright for anyone else to do so as long as it is set up safely so that it is not a distraction for the driver.

Having the maturity to realize that some people are perfectly capable of smoking hookah and driving safely is what separates the grown ups from the children imo...

have you seen those tangiers doomsday clouds?..lol blowing smoke in the eyes can easily block your view..but i think the only thing that will come of this thread is that we must agree to disagree..i just hope im never on the same street has some fool smoking a hookah while driving, for my sake and my familys sake..

[Remy]

Well if you and your family are 'unfortunate' enough to ever share a road with a mobile hookah-er, you'll probably never even know it by the way they're driving. What I'm tryin' to say is; its all good in the hood. Edited November 20, 2009 by Remy

[Stuie]

Don't own a Leila cause I figure I am not smoking in my car.

Reasons:

1) Baby rides in the car
2) Enough distractions on the road
3) I am not that addicted

[redjako]

Now a smoke room for B-movie action, slasher, zombie flicks at a beer-theater would kick ass.

Really? Let me tell you a story. A real honest to God happened to someone close to me story...... I had a girlfriend in high school. Good student, good friend. Her name was Gail. Gail didn't feel very attractive in high school so she got involved with the wrong kind of guy. Beat her up a lot, got her involved in drugs, usual downward crap. Eventually she got her head together and left him. She went back to school and became a licensed mental health worker specializing in working with autistic children. And she met Mr. Wonderful. A great guy who loved her so much. I heard about their small wedding in Vegas and was happy for them. The last time I saw Gail was when I ran into her accidently in a department store and she was glowing. She'd taken a pregnancy test that morning at the doctor's office and was waiting for the call back. She and her husband were sure, they were just waiting for the doctors confirmation.

Exactly one week later I attended the double funeral of her and her husband.

It wasn't a drunk driver. It was a distracted driver who dropped a cigar in his lap while driving through the intersection. Seems it landed lit end straight down and in his trying to brush it away, recover it, and maintain control while driving he didn't see the light change and broadsided them in the middle of the intersection.

Three people dead including her unborn child. Two families devastated. God knows how many autistic children that never had the chance to meet her and possibly be helped by her. All because of a distracted driver.

But that's okay right? Because it was safe enough? Because he could? Because the odds were so low of something happening?

I think in this particular case the mods will forgive me if I say..... Fuck you.

rani, im very sorry you had to type all that..thats a very sad story..

Thank you NOB. The most important thing to understand is that our choices have far ranging and potentially devastating consequences. We all need to make sure our choices are as responsible as we can make them. The driver who hit them is still living with his choice. I don't think anyone else should have to live with the same consequences.

I really sorry to hear that Rani =[

Hmmm... Me think Remy looks like quite the jackass now

[scratchy]

I'm 110% with Rani on this one.

So what if you THINK you're capable of smoking hookah in the car. It only takes 1 bump, sudden stop or swerve to move the coals around, distract you and you could end up killing innocent people.

Will it really break your heart to wait a few hours before smoking?

I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry for the loss of someone you kindof knew from high school.. Ask those on these boards that know me. They will tell you I am a caring and compasionate man, who truly feels your pain. Please accept my apologies for all they are worth.
God bless you.

I can tell I am obviously in the minority here with my opinion, but I dont think that gives you the right to personally attack me. I feel we should probably just drop it at this point... It's like two invincible guys taking turns punching each other to knock the other out, but none of them feel a thing, so the whole thing becomes pointless. You know when you're trying to argue something, but no matter what you throw at the other person, they're still rigid and firm on their stance? That's what's happening here.

And btw this forum is the Discussion Group for all Hookah Lovers. The Discussion Group for all Cigar Lovers is >>> that away.
Bottom line, a leila isn't going to get coals on you or ash no matter how fast you stop, they're enclosed! Thats what I was talking about. And if anyone on the road chooses to smoke hookah (in a SAFE MANNER (ie: one where there aren't going to be any hookah massacres under any circumstances)) then thats just dandy. Edited November 21, 2009 by Remy

[Arcane]

no matter what...if you do ANYTHING other than driving, while driving...you increase your chances to cause or be in an accident. you could be picking your nose, smoking a cigarette or changing the radio stations...

i think Rani's standpoint is, why increase the chances especially if it may affect other people? Remy's standpoint seems to be, the increased risk can be kept to a minimum then it is acceptable to him.

and even though Rani was very passionate about her story...i do believe the Fuck You was still uncalled for...
