Can vs Bottle?
Yea, this is a little odd... but I've noticed that it is much, much easier to drink a 12 oz can of Caffine Free Diet Coke than the 20 oz bottle...
1)I can't finish the bottle because it hits the targa.
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?

I don't let anybody drink cans in my Vette. Only bottles, so they can screw the top on and keep it on. It wont fit in the cup holder, but it fits inbetween the seat and the center console.
It's a pain in the *** to open the bottle top, yes, but it's easer than cleaning up after a spill. I don't let anybody eat or drink in the Vette, unless it's a narrow top bottle with a lid (no gatorade, cans, etc), and it doesn't leave crumbs (Fruity snacks only).

Switch to beer, and only use glass bottles since they're easier to see through.
Problem solved.

I get enough, but my Vette isn't my daily driver. I don't HAVE to take people in it often, so when I do take it out and someone else is in it, it's an issue of respect. Every time I get into someone else's car, I always ask them if it's ok to drink in it.
I'll buy someone a bottled drink if they don't have one, it's not a big deal to me. But spilled soda is.
No plastic seat covers, no toothbrush to the A/C, but I do keep it cleaned regularly (at least wash and wax once a month, usually more often depending on when I drive it, california duster when I take it out, cover if it's out of the garage overnight, etc). Just because I take good care of it doesn't mean I baby it.

bottles. i just bring along the case i bought the beer in, and replace empty beers in empty space in the case as i drive along, problem solved.
as for eating, smoking, blowing a nut, etc. anyone can do that in my car anytime. since the few passengers i've had seem to complain about jerked back necks and loudness, i don't bother letting them in anymore so i've not had too much to think about in that arena.
