Of course, this will never happen in Regulation Nation.

I really wish they would stop calling them "drones", though...

I think there is a reason everyone is calling them Drones. Wiki defines Drones as the following:

Vehicles[edit source | edit]

• Robot in general
  • Combat drone
  • Unmanned vehicles
  • Target drone

So since a Quad is an unmanned vehicle, they are called drones.

The beer drop is quite cool. Not sure I would want to be unaware that one was coming down though!!!

Don't think you'd want to open it right away, either.
