Americans LOVE cupholders! That's why some US made minivans have ten of them.

My mechanic, who is from Germany, told me driving is SERIOUS business, you want to drive in the fatherland, you have to study for a year, to learn the rules of the road, and are tested how to recover from a skid on an icy road, you have to learn first aid, it is real rough to pass, but you are a good driver if you get a driving license

Mercedes resisted cupholders for a long time. I admit, I had an aftermarket burlwood one installed.

There was a guy driving a big old Pontiac Bonneville down Geary Blvd. in San Francisco, EATING A PLATE OF RIBS!! Got to love it.

Then there was that realtor lady in Connecticut in a Jeep Grand Cherokee talking on *TWO* cell phones who ran off the road and rolled the Jeep.

( I was driving when I heard that, I was so shocked I dropped my lipstick into my coffee) j/k
