Bob Weber, who does an automotive Q&A column every Sunday in the Chicago Tribune, had to set a doctor straight:
Quote:
Q. As a physician, I have to object to your suggestion to go braless to get better m.p.g.
First of all, going braless will increase the risk of infection and thereby increase patient visits and health-care costs. It also could cause loss of concentration by male drivers, potentially increasing insurance and health-care costs. I hope you take this into consideration before giving such advice.
A. Dude, it's none of our business what anyone wears—even cross dressing is generally considered harmless.
But when we said: "Some accessories or add-ons like spoilers or bras may look cool, but lower fuel economy," we were referring to your car, not your person (or some other person, for that matter).
