Cup Holder Works.

The Smart Cup holder is very convenient when I am having my lunch. However, should my friend come back with a drink, as well as chips, there is no place to put his cup.

You know, I like the two cup holder but I think it's a bit impracticle because it's too far away for easy access while driving. I'm almost tempted to by a window jam cup holder but that is so unsightly. Right now, I'm using the handle for the seats to keep bottled water close at hand but if the bottle shape is too small, I find it slipping out and rolling around in the passenger footwell area which I can't stand. Also, I have the original 2-cup holder sitting in a box (collecting dust) since I had the large cup holder item installed. I didn't realize that thing replaced the 2-cup holder and gave me a different 2-cup holder with extension swing arm.

Long straws might work-

Hoping the 2009 models address this

A2Jack, OK, completely OT.......when I was a kid, my dad kept some pet birds up at our isolated mountain cabin.

He had some pet turkeys, and turkeys will eat anything. He sprayed this insulation stuff around some cracks, and it swole up into pink foam. The turkeys thought it was snack time and ate the whole lot of it, about two cans worth. We had turkeys wandering around for two days, moaning "gobbagobbaowwwww gobbagobbaooooooh". Turkeys with tummy aches. It was really funny in a sick inhumane kind of way.

A couple of his peacocks disappeared, and he figured either something had got 'em, or they'd gone over the mountain. A few months later he went to the county courthouse and heard someone telling the sherriff that they'd spotted the damndest turkeys they'd ever seen out in the woods. They got to arguing if there was any such thing as a blue and green turkey.

Springlering. Thanks for the post. A lot of folks can't see the bird as the corp filters at work block him. We too like the critters.

If the passenger seat is all the way back, the seat handle holds the bottle better.

MP3, That's not the problem. Water bottles with a tiny waste come loose while regular water bottles that don't have a smaller middle (for easier holding) stay in place.
