Cup Holder Question

[blue2000s]

IMO, if you are drinking something in your Porsche, you shouldn't be driving your Porsche. This is why the 986 cupholders were so crappy, the Germans think cupholders are a joke.

But anyway, look at the second picture down

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.

When I drive for 5 hours through the desert to get to Flight 34 in Phoenix, you can bet I am using BOTH of my crappy Boxster cup holders.

I've driven from CO to MN several times in sports cars without any cupholders. Cars from the days before people apparently needed cupholders. Somehow, I survived. I wonder what everyone who thinks they need a cupholder in their car now did before 1990? Yeah, that's right, the good old days.

Looks good, I'd be a bit worried it may be quite difficult to use as I'm 6ft 1", not a lot of leg room down there already

Porsche never got the cup holders right on the 986.

I assume the IMS bearing and the cup holders shared the same crack engineering team.

I'm the same height. They were in my car when I bought it. No clearance problems as you can slide them around to where-ever is the least intrusive. You can even put two on the passenger side instead of one on each side. They're big so they can take a good sized drink. The nice thing about that location is you can't spill something on the console. I've purchased a couple of cars that needed a thorough cleaning to get all the sticky mess out of the grill and stereo. I, of course, sold them as soon as I got the car home.
