I don't have any problems with the Oe cup holders. A mcdonalds coffee or a regular sized soft drink from costco fits fine and stays in. Only if I take a turn like I am at Laguna Seca will I hold the drink in place with my hand

You take turns like you are at Laguna Seca with one hand?

So after so many years we've finally redefined the dash's holder thing on some of the 986s. A "Can Holder" as opposed to a true cup holder. Fascinating forum and people!

I've been traumatized and physically abused by my mum, father, sisters and other relatives for simply eating or drinking (messing) anywhere else than in a food & beverage designated area. Same goes for the cars. No eating No drinking No Injecting No Snorkeling No Smoking No Smootching in any of my rides. No No No!

Brand new can holder for sale here if anyone is looking for one

hope you meant "occasional" behavior. In that case it all sounds that you are very well alive and kicking

LOL! Some of us here have been tracking for 10+ years and can maneuver turns quite effortlessly. Tracking your car makes you a better driver with awareness, predicting other drivers and skills.

The Boxster is a drivers car so drinking and eating are Verboten!

You can however have a smoke with the top down doing 200kph on the autoban.

Its also nice of them to arrange the afterthought drink holders so that they are sure to spill on your expensive electronics.

Its better to use an IV bag hidden in the rear shelf if you need to remain hydrated on long trips.

The lack of amenities is the sure sign of a real sports car
