Who Needs a Cup Holder

I went to the store today and found this




Its imported because the can is from Europe, and is resealable!
its become habit for me to buy sodas in a bottle while traveling because i need to be able to seal the tops. well seems like I'm not alone, and the people in Europe came up with a can to be used in cars with no cup holders!

We don't need to stink'n cup holders!

yeah I don't know if I'd trust it to go sideways like I do with a bottle. but i was trying to think about why they made this over-engineered can, and all i can come up with is its because Europeans hate cup holders. and its cool because its over-engineered like my car

That size container should wedge perfectly between the center armrest and the passenger seat.

My Chevy's cup holders can safely support even the largest big gulps.

EBAY drink cozy (set of 6)

I just bought a set of these on ebay for $13.75 the set. Seller is friendly, but did not design them herself she says.

Fun item.



I heard about them on www.crownvic.net where a member bought some and gave them out at a meet up back east.

That piticular monster tastes decent too, imo. kinda odd but it seals up!

That sealable can would be perfect for BEER! Not implicating drinkin and driving though. Prevent alcohol abuse, nobody likes a spilled beer,

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!

silly me, when I read the cartoon, the first thing I thought of was a bowl of delicious clear broth. Hmm, maybe some pho for lunch today . . .

Sabbs got the coolest cup holders. They slide out vertically and then pop open horizontally. The possibilities of plastic...........
