Yeah, actually, I use mine to hold my phone, tucks in nicely with the antenna fitting in that side opening designed for the cup handle, probably me and 20,000 other people, because we sure aren't using it to hold a beverage.

Yep yep makes a great cell phone holder! My friend has a S2000 with the secret compartment. Much to his suprise when he found the secret compartment he was greeted with a 6 disk CD changer and very detailed maintance records of his car! He was upset b/c he didnt have any paperwork when he bought it.

Ok ok, I have a strange sort of secret I found on my Formula. I was driving one night and for some reason I had a baggie in the ashtray (ha ha, very funny, no jokes needed) which made the light in the ashtray much more visible. Well... my ashtray light changes from blue to red to green to purple. I found that to be quite weird, have no idea if that's factory or someone put a weird bulb in.

Did you eat some strange fungus before you noticed the colors?

should I start at the bottom right of each page and work my way left and up too? Well anyway, I already new everything I needed to know about my Z, it had the LS1, t56, and a drop-top. I wouldn't have cared if it didn't have seats, let alone doing cup-holder inventory, excuuuuse me for not knowing such an important thing.

i think what you meant is you need a new smiley for :awesome:

reason is when i post in a thread, i usually wind up posting in it like 6 or 7 times, so if i post in a lousy 3 threads, it winds up turning into 20+ posts see how you're adding to my post count now? i have a habit of replying to EVERYONE, be it PM, post, argument...it can be good and bad

factor in all my posts in sections that don't add to the post count, plus SSU, and i'd be at over 4k but when you think about it, there are people on this sites, mods mostly, that have only been a member for ~3 years but have over 9,000 posts. they're worse than i am

I'm just learning about this cup holder. I verified that I do, indeed, have this amazing cupholder.

I've had my car over a year and a half.

LMAO@ the magic cupholder society. I found mine because the damn thing made noise constantly, vibrating because of my Loudmouth exhaust. Stuck a piece of velcro on the inside part and fixed it!

****, I've been on this site for over 5 years and even with my 9300+ posts, my daily average still isn't as high as yours.

At least Choco contributes useful stuff regularly. There are some newer guys on this site that have a similar amount of time here as him with similar post counts, but much of what they post is either general junk or misleading/often incorrect info.
