M friend @buddyv Robert just sets a new-ish roll of duct tape on the carpet. Most beverage containers fit and the slightly sticky sides keep things from moving around!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) , you decide.

This is awesome. I grew up in the midwest and it sounds like something a midwesterner would do. Whomever is the legal guardian of the "Uses of Duct Tape" list, please update it to 1,002 uses. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

I’ve used one something like this one. Used for small cups and plastic bottles. https://a.co/d/f1lirOi

I don't use center top and installed aftermarket sourced holder many years ago.

Roll of blue tape. Works as a cup holder. And can also be used to seal up that leaky spot on your targa seal when you get caught in the rain.

I love my 30 year old Octopus but I add a washcloth inside just in case G force related leaks are created.

Cool only if the car has duct tape on the seats and somewhere outside.

It’s usually a little further back, closer to the seat.

Easy to transfer from one little car to the other.

Wasn't there a modern option that converted the seat slider/adjuster handle, to a ring that holds drinks? Not sure where I'm getting that, but it comes to mind and seems like a good option imo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

No, but there is the ingress/egress, makeup, communication device that prevents the required container stability.
