As wide as the console cup holders, and much deeper.

I've had double one for fifteen years, and it works great!

Its easy as pie.....Just reach your arm behind the passenger headrest and its there....easy in or out...will hold any size...several of them...plus other stuff. Blends in with carpet its sitting on. You don't ave to take your eyes off the road at all...

There’s tons of cups that fit our cup holders. I use Swells all the time and now my Yeti with no issues. But I only drink water.
I don’t like people drinking coffee in the vette. Seems to always spill,drip or just stink. Don’t get me wrong I actually like a good smelling coffee. But have never drank it in 57 yrs.

It is pretty cause I don't see it....lol except when I look directly at it which is not very often. The travel buddy is cheap dime store plastic that you can't not look at its so ugly...


Yes I drink no coffee ever...nor does anyone else in my car.



When I say its ugly I bought one for 2007 and I still have it....(I still fell dirty having bought it its so bad )....I tried it in my fist Corvette back then and It stayed in the car about two minutes...its been in my Corvette collection of parts ever since...in the house. I skipped it in four other Vettes but recently tried it again for about 1 minute...Still ugly and look bad (someone could actually make a nice one for that area).....The interior accessories Bell sells in Walmart car section looks like OEM Ferrari material compared to that 40 dollar rip off...

Zojirushi beats Yeti hands down!!! for keeping your beverage hot or cold!! I have had coffee hot after 8 hours and still warm after 24hours!! the slim design fits in the cup holder no problem.

I've got something similar, don't remember the brand. I don't want any of those fat drink cups, they interfere with shifting too much.

Actually, the travel buddy does not seem to get in the way at all. Have had it a few years, moved it from the C5 to the 6. I will say, they have certainly gone up in price since I purchased mine

Unfortunately, I don't have a pic of it in my Vette, but what you need is a cup similar to the one I have in the pic below. While not as good as my Yeti cups in terms of heat retention, this one is narrower at the bottom and fits perfectly in my C6 GS's cupholder. And, it does a good enough job of keeping my hot beverages hot, plenty long enough for me to drink them over 2 - 3 hour time frame. I got it from the shop that installed my Maggie supercharger. Just find a cup that fits the cupholder is my suggestion......

that would fit in any cup holder as it has a tapered bottom just for that purpose.

It didn't fit in my last car. Well, at least not safely.
