I think yours has too many gears. Mine goes to the left and up. My stickshift that is. The shifter in my car is what I'm talking about.

A couple of weeks ago, I was in a hurry and forgot about the reverse problem. I put one of those large Quizno's cups in the console, shifted into reverse, and the cup spewed beverage all over the car, my arm, and all over my wife. It didn't really make a big mess and I cleaned it up, but that was a Vette experience that will not be forgotten.

2)The bottle won't quite fit in the drink holder.
3)It's a pain messing with the bottle cap while trying to shift and stuff.

Other than when driving the vette, I'd prefer the 20 oz every time (more is better).

Any solutions?

If you've been driving your car for a while now and that's your only problem, you're way ahead of the curve, brother
