Default Cup holder

Wife bought 01 Vette with 10 k miles, Magnetic Red and we had it ceramic coated. Cup holder is very small. Is there a cup holder sleeve to hold larger cup? or cup that fits?
Also looking for cell phone holder that fits on vent.

Thank you

Thanks dad! Watch out for me on the road. I may have a water bottle and I'm not afraid to use it!

Theres several options. One is an adapter for your current cup holder. It attaches to the lid and adds some stability to the cup. Note I said SOME. Option two is the double cup holder that gets wedged between the right console and floor. I have this one and it works well. As for the phone holder I recommend ProClip. It's a two part holder. I have one and it's sturdy as hell. Problem with the vent mounted is in hot weather the last thing you want is one of only 4 vents blocked.

Travel Buddy has worked well for me. A little pricey for a plastic mold, but it has worked and lasted for me 15+ years. I keep breath mints in the OEM flip lid cup holder.

No food or drink in any of our cars. If on a long drive stopping for a break is when to have something to eat or drink. On a short drive we can wait until we reach our destination. Eating or drinking in the car is just another form of distracted driving. Certainly less distracting than texting, but it still diverts attention away from what you should be doing.

I learned about this one from another post on the forum, and bought it. This is the lowest price, too!
