I thought I would share this with others so they can ether take advantage of a
$5 gift card and/or avoid getting upset and in a possible dangerous situation.
Riding in today, I saw a car with a coffee on the roof stopped at a red light.
Being the good sucker that I am, I rolled up to the driver's window, said,
"Hey, your coffee", and tried to hand it to him. But, it was stuck to the roof, and
the guy said, "Thank you, happy holidays, would you like a free five dollar gift
card to Starbucks...."
I got mad and rode away, but if anybody wants five bucks at Starbucks, look
for a car with a coffee on the roof.

Hey, me too.
Funny thing is, I didn't get a card, I figured out it was a promotion anyway,
and I was still a little upset that they would play people that way.
Plus, I nearly got creamed by a taxi because the cup-driver was turning without
using a signal and the taxi decided to also tip him off - none of us went where
we should have gone, and as usual, the cyclist was the most vunlerable.
