But it took IT themselves a long-ass time to even figure out what had happened.It's bad, especially in dry times where it might start a fire, but at other times I'd rate it as a huge amount less bad than anything else being thrown out of a car, because at least cigarette butts can and rapidly do biodegrade. I will admit seeing someone throw a drink or the like out makes me want to GTA press triangle the person out of the car though.</blockquote>
