my '67 has a grand total of 0 cupholders. I see it as a sign that there is no drinks allowed in my car.

Sorry guys I dont have 87 cupholders to choose from. I have 1 thats a half an inch deep, and one 3-4 feet away. It's really hard for us people that, you know, actually have to drink stuff to stay alive. How are you rough riders doing it? Do they make water-pills now or something? I need to stay up to date with this stuff.

Or maybe I designed the cupholder that way to **** people like you off. Yeah, that's right...I was the President of the Automotive Cupholder Placement Program back in the day. Come get some
I think we have met...a " cup'll " times before.

The human body can survive like 3 days without water, you saying you can't survive a 30 minute car trip somewhere? How much car time do you log in a day? I see about 20 minutes to work and 20 minutes back. I can make do 40 minutes without drinking something to "stay alive". I don't think you are going to wither away while driving.

FWIW, I doubt many people here even TAKE a drink into their cars. Food and drink are pretty much off limits in a *majority* of our cars.

Actually the human body will only last about 2-3 days without water. Now food a human can go without for up to a month. Give or take of course. And that pic in your sig is badass. I want one. Sorry off topic.

But honestly who buys an f-body for the comfort factor? I'm more concerned with the cat placement than the lack of cupholders. Of course mine has 5. I think 2 in the back but i've never been back there lol.

I am just gonna leave this thread open because everyone bitching about cup holders honestly deserves the flaming IMO. Unless you are DDing your car and hauling your family, complete with two 5-10 year olds in the back that always spill ****...there is no way in hell you can justify bitching about the lack of cup holders.

Between an hour drive to school, sitting my *** on campus all day and thinking about how hungry I am, usually it is kinda nice to go get some Mickey Dee's when I have a chance and bring it back so I have something eat while I do homework. And the 44oz for .69 cents is just too damn tempting to pass up.

I've also wondered about why they didn't put a cup holder on the drivers door like the passenger has, but it's never pissed me off enough to make a thread about it

Then you've never had a pool of Dr Pepper in your lap.

I don't allow anyone to eat or drink in my car anyway so I really don't care about a cupholder. Now I AM pissed that it doesn't have a timeslip-posting board though.....

Stop complaining! I drive 110 miles round trip everday and my freakin' boat of an Impala has only ONE cup holder which resides right in front of the radio. Plus its only ONE inch deep so I must keep tabs on any drink at all times. I had to replace the radio because the previous owner spilt something inside the radio. The Camaro's cup holder are wonderful in comparison.
