Real men hold thier whiskey bottle between thier legs!

I tend to put my coffe there too, have had enough kids already.

I tend to spill stuff in my cup holder in the integra, and it won't toss me around nearly as hard in the turns. I hear what you are saying about long drives though. Why not get one of those ones that hang on the door?

While it's an interesting solution, I don't care for the ashtray modification as I'd rather not have it up in my sightline. The cupholders on the doors are interesting, but I'm trying not ot put any holes where i don't have holes already (from show perspective)...

Thanks!

A German fellow told me there are no cup holders in german cars because it is illegal to drink ANYTHING while driving (or eat anything or talk on cell phones, or play with girls knees or . . . anything else fun). He said because "beer would find its way into any container and so they just outlawed drinking anything period and do not put in container holders for that reason.

We will not be far behind. I heard they are going to outlaw cigarette lighters in Kalifonnia. How will I be able to plug in my radar detector or my cell phone????? Next will be cup holders. So, we will be way ahead of the time.

Kinda fits like a saddle on a sow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Now you know why Ferry didn't install them when the car was new......WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DRIVING THEM. NOT GOING ON A PICNIC IN THEM. The picnic comes together , AFTER you get where you are going, hopefully after a spirited and satisfying run thru woods, or on a curvy road, or dicing amongst traffic.

ALL of which should occur with out a stupid can of coke under your right shifting elbow....Ever see one of these installed in a Daytona Prototype ? Or a DE car, or for that matter in ANY 911 before the mid to late 90's when it became vogue to Americanize the European sports car...............

Porsche...... all the cars ever made are Porsche race cars. Some more than others

The drink rack (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) belongs in Granny's Chrysler CSUV.

And this PO should be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) for desecrating the heritage.....

Well said!

Sorry for the rant, but I just (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) on this crappy sort of lineage desecration.

Who would have thunk this topic to be so passionate!!!

When I was endurance racing, we always had a water bottle/tube set up for the driver...so there goes the "NO Drinks in a Race car" argument...

When I was 16, I think everybody learned to drive with a beer bottle between their legs...it might have even been on the drivers test up here in Canada way back then....I can't remember...Our beer bottles were short stubby ones back then too....some of us could even heel and toe with it....(try that with a 3-speed column shift) Certainly not apropriate in the last 2 - 3 decades though...

I don't buy the coffee thing...long trip or not, a REAL coffee drinker has his own travel mug which will not fit in any "holder" due to volume. If your coffee is that small it can fit in a dinky cup in a holder...you can probably do without...although if you could hook up a heated travel mug with a tube or IV that might work...

Water bottles come with a cap...snap or screw, take your choice, but it can sit on the seat beside you if you are not driving "spiritedly"...if you are, you can wedge it somewhere (use your imagination)...hopefully not under the pedals...

Kidding aside, I am not of the belief that europeans frown on cup holders...their towns are just closer and their trips shorter...so they are not needed.

Also our 914s are older cars that require some level of skill and/or attention to drive...unlike more modern luxo cars that have power assist everything, driving aids and air bags for when you fall asleep of boredom. Point being cup holders ARE apropriate for modern luxo cars...As for sports cars...I'm not sure why mine even has a radio.

I agree that I wouldnt want to introduce new holes to my 914 for a cup holder...but there are some ingenious solutions posted here, and I for one wouldn't hold it against anyone for personalizing their car....after all the car should be driven and enjoyed...if it takes a cup holder to choose the sports car ride into work, then... POWER to ya!
