The puny, half-assed cup holders that Porsche puts in it's cars are a joke on us. The Germans laugh at us for all the ridiculous emphasis we put on cup holders, especially in a sports car.

I think you guys need to learn how to drive more smoothly. I drive with a 16-ounce soft drink in the standard pop-out cup holder at least once a week, and I've never had an issue.

Okay, so a little homework for everyone... go out and rent the movie "Initial D" and watch it. Then you all need to (like in the movie) put a cup of water in your car's cup holder and learn to drift the car sideways through turns without spilling the water. Every day add just a little more water to the cup until you become a mountain pass drift king!

Sounds easy enough... what could go wrong? Just to be on the safe side though, I think your Assistant should ride along with me in case my cup starts to slip.

OK, so what exactly does the Assistant provide assistance with?

I don't drink coffee when I drive, I drink when I get to where I'm going. :dance:

Yes. Germans believe that a good cup of coffee should be savored slowly, in a cafe along with fresh warm strudel. Savoring a fine sports car should not be diluted or distracted with a cup of coffee.

I guess that's why there's no Tim's in Germany!
