How do you hold cups?
So, since most of us are driving cars with no standard cup holders - I was just wondering what people are doing to over come the problem.
I'm using a roll of duct tape in the console tray. It fits a 12 oz can quite nicely - plus, who doesn't need a spare roll of duct tape?

If there is someone riding shotgun, they are my beverage holder.
If not, then its either between the legs, or riding in the shifter gate.

I bought some cup holders for this car. The color blends well with the burl wood and they attach directly to my AC vents. If you want them I can sell them to you if you really need cup holders. Just PM me if you're interested

I have used plasticy thingies which fasten to the dash with velcro. Also a plastic thingie which makes the cup "stick" and not slide around (not recommended for vigorous cornering.

I keep a bottle of water in the center tray. I do not use cups of any kind.
I also never go through a drive through it is not an issue. My 300SD had a cup holder glued to the driver's door. It matched the interior color and was pretty sturdy - I found out when I tried to remove it. Maybe JohnHef can get the manufacturer's name off it.

My Chevy has fantastic cup holders. I have yet to find a cup they can't handle, even spray cans don't phase them!
 When I had the MB I used to just hold my beer.

Passengers hands or on the shifter. I don't like my man bits overly cold, call me picky.

I use Fischer cup holders fixed to the doors (screws).
Works great if I remember to slam the door first and then open the can. Rob

I don't like the crotch grip for the very reason ashedd mentioned. Especially if said beverage is hot--that puts your gibbies in jeopardy. I usually just hold it and have the passenger shift, otherwise I just left hand it and shift on straights only, it works out. I try to avoid drinking in the car altogether. Potential mess and distraction.

With the W124 out of commission, I no longer own a vehicle not already equipped with cup holders.
I LOVE how the W164s have the stalk shifter, freeing up the console for Big Gulps!
