    Never heard of that, but then I am not large on drinking. I buy a few cases through out the summer, and if I am lucky, will drink one beer a day. Some days, no beer. My 91 year old dad, with Congestive heart failure and malfunctioning kidneys will drink some of it for me.

    Even the doctors say to him, "why not, you made it this far"...

    Grupo Modelo is the parent company of Corona. Modelo Especial is their pilsner beer.

    I also like Victoria which is their Vienna style lager.

    I toured their brewery in Torreon. The tour included free beer. :D

    Oh ok.

    I also tried drinking the Corona with a slice of lime, frankly I just don't taste anything different. I read about it as well, even the experts say it's a waste.

    Two people in the same front seat will surely result in an accident of some sort, that's for sure.

    Just as long as a telephone book was between them, no accident could happen.

    While I realize the OP is asking for advise for another company, I think flyingmusician hit the nail on the head regarding how to deal with tight turns in heavy traffic.

    I had such a turn in Oakland a couple of years ago and waited three light cycles for someone to get the clue. Nobody did. Finally I forced my way into a wide turn, blocking both lanes on the 4 lane road, then initiated my turn into the narrow two lane road. Basically I blocked the entire intersection as the light turned red, right in front of a line of half a dozen cars that had to back up 60-80 feet in order for me to avoid taking out a mail box right on the edge of the curb.

    Now that I drive a split axle flat bed I find myself really planning ahead for situations like this. Often I'll stop a good trailer length or two ahead of the turn with my right turn signal on, then after the light turns green I may need to squeeze my way into traffic in the left lane to give my trailer plenty of time to get over to the left lane so I can sweep the turn.
