    That doesn't look comfortable or appealing at all. Rather have a cushy seat and AC with my drink.

    I also hear the customer service there sucks. You kinda get the 'cold' shoulder from the staff.

    Hey just go to Northern Canada, and you can do that for free, minus the cost of your own drinks. That looks like what my buddies and I did when we went hunting for rabbits.

    as a celt of Scottish origin and Highland origin let it known I can say its welcoming picture in this unrelenting heat. But I would be sitting there in my undies.
