Tahoe bear swills booze with pizza snack in classic 1964 Buick Skylark
A bear cub drew a crowd of spectators at a Lake Tahoe neighborhood as it munched on barbecue-chicken-and-jalapeno pizza in the back seat of a vintage red Buick convertible.It also apparently washed it down with a swig of a Jack Daniel's mixer, an Absolut vodka and tonic, and a beer taken from a cooler, the vehicle's owner said. About 30 people watched the cub lumber around a parking lot in upper Kingbury Grade on Sunday before it homed in on the Buick and the spicy pizza on the floor. The bruin was unfazed by the car's horn the blew nonstop as the cub pressed the seat into the steering wheel. "The bear was loping along in the parking lot and then decides to get inside the car," said resident Jerry Patterson.

The bear remained inside the 1964 Buick Skylark for about 20 minutes and at times put his paws on the dash as if he were holding on for a ride, Patterson said.
