Another stupid question: cupholder
2nd vette (both coupes...not that it matters)....
apparently c5 engineers dont really ever drink coffee or for that matter any beverage with a container height of over about 3 inches...or else they'd have a cupholder capable of actually holding something.
Anyone find a retro solution....and no its not a big problem, and yes I love my vette....but I also love coffee, and coffee and shale carpet do NOT match.

Saw another thread a week ago. Get the Wedgie from Walmart. Works great and is only $4.
Has completely halted my wife's problem of spilling coffee and ME cleaning it up.

Try this - it will hold ANY SIZE drink (available from Andy @ 21st Century 972 417 7177).
Even when auto- xing the drink stays in the holder

If I could remember how to post a picture here I would show you what I came up with. It's easy and it works well. I can hold two good sized cups in it and it's convenient. You can see my "creation" by going to my pictures on here and checking out the interior pic with the cupholder.
If you like it, email me and I will tell you how I did it.

I agree - the one from Girl-In-A-Box looks like a good solution.

I have two of the singles from the NCM. I see now they have a double:

It's available in shale also, and the sale supports the NCM.
