I use the flip out all the time and the middle one for my cell phone. The back 2 are only good for 16 oz. cans (in my experience) and the pass. door holder has been used once by my grandmother. My camaro doesn't have any cupholders, so I've used the pass. seatbelt many times, lol.

well, all this talk of more than one cupholder gets me confused... well i do have a 94 so i guess we only have one... first time i actually used it to hold a drink was yesterday before i read this thread ironically... dont usually bring drinks into my car, had a bad episode with that once so i just stopped doing that... otherwise it just holds screws whenever i open up something in the car...

BTW, whats a sirius

You can even add a 6th! Do you guys know about the Afterthoughts Auto's Big Drink Holder?
http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/big-drink-holder.html


The base slips under the floor mat and it runs $21. Looks pretty neat to me, I just want to know how stable it is. On rare occassions I get the really big styrofoam cups that will only fit in the pass door so I stick them there and drive real carefully as far as throttle is concerned. I might check this one out just for those rare situations.

No one ever eats or drinks in my car including me.

And for the record it took me close to six months to find the damn hidden cup holder. A friend started messin with my **** and pulled the hidden holder out and I went nuts that I never noticed it.

You don't really have to eat or drink in the car, it's mainly for transporting drinks. If I go to a fast food place I use the cupholder to hold the drink until I get home. OK, sometimes I'll take a sip.

Trans-Ams have the FIFTH cupholder in the passenger side door panel making them the ULTIMATE REDNECK CAR because you can carry a six pack in them!

A beer in the center...

A beer in the flip out...

A beer in the door panel...

Two beers in the back...

and one in your hand !

Seriously though, I use the flip-out for fast food drinks or a bottle of Mountain Dew. The back never see the light of day and the center one is usually for the cell phone...

I've had two Trans-Ams and it wasn't untill AFTER I had sold them that I ever even knew about the door panel one !

i use the one in the bird regularly, although i might come up with a switch panel when i get nitrous for there. the one in the camaro is useless being that its a m6, it ends up holding trash

I just use the flip out. It's worthless by the shifter. My cell goes where the TCS is supposed to be.
