Default Recommendations for cup holders

My 96 standard cup holders are too small. Seems like they only hold a medium cup size and don't give you enough support. Anybody use something else?

I was looking at this one:

The Travel Buddy wins, hands-down, IMO:

I have a single (like in the picture), brand new, that you can have for $30 shipped if you're interested (I had just bought it when I received their double cup-holder as a gift).

I have the single Travel Buddy and it works great for cans or regular size drink cups but not the large drink cups. Also, if you want the twin drink holder, here's the link:

Had the same problem, and I solved it!

Another use I use the cup holder is hold my GPS. Works great either way.

Regarding the link to the dual cup holder,

Did you know? Many people in our hobby refer to the drink holder as a cup holder. <-------FROM ECKLERS WEBSITE. Do they really think people are that stupid? Who writes this ****?
