Cupholders
 
I don't have a fancy car with adequate cup holders. And while I'm not prone to drinking or even carrying beverages in the car, there are times when I wish I had somewhere to put my fat guy jumbo chocolate shake on the way back from lunch.
I bought this little do-dad a couple years ago and never used it until today, so I thought I could offer a review.

As you can see it is very slanty. Had this been a soda, it probably would have spilled all over. It was pretty scary when driving a bit rough, but I never steadied it and it held pretty well although it moved about quite a bit. I won't bother posting the name and model as I'm sure there is something better out there.

What are y'all using?

Same issue here. I'll probably get one of the following for mine.

BMW Cup Holders, Porsche Cup Holders, Ultimate Cup Holder - Cupholders / Drink Holders for BMW 3 5 7 Series, Boxster 911 Z4 Mercedes Audi NSX other fine cars.

I've been using a pair of Ultimate cupholders for a few years and they are excellent - best solution I've tried so far. I put them both on the passenger side to avoid any interference with my throttle leg.

Wedge cup holder

I use a seat wedge cup holder that works pretty well. It has a few downsides: 1. It takes up room on the passenger seat. 2. It is not anchored and I have had it tip a few times with larger drinks (32oz or more). It is very cheap though.

Thanks

Certainly easier to put in than a coolant tank, for sure! :D

Two on the same side?!? That is freakin' brilliant! I would not have thought of that!

You might call it "thinking one side of the Box." ;)
