what clutters up your cupholder area?

[oaklandopen]

this relies on honesty (for ones that might not want others to know their car is dirty). so what does everyone have in their cupholders/center console area RIGHT NOW?

[Wastegate13]

I really like that coin holder. What is the capacity? I just use my ashtray. I'll snap a pic when I get off work.

[BurnoutX]

lag bolts i have to take back to ace hardware ;)

[NRRfrogmanP5]

lots of change. and usually a bottle of water

[AG DesignWorks]

Usually receipts from dinner, shopping, gas. I always fold em up and stuff em in my cup holders til i have a dozen of them a squished in there.

[F430TECH]

Nothing...

I keep it pretty clean... But it usually holds my Iphone or my Ipod...

:-P

[SuperStretch18]

Probably $15 in change right now...

[chief_wiggum]

my faux-pod (non I-Pod mp3 player)

[VermZ06]

Usually receipts from dinner, shopping, gas. I always fold em up and stuff em in my cup holders til i have a dozen of them a squished in there.

+1 thousands of receipts...

[1shark1]

my shaldan air freshener - nice fit.

[MSP2024]

change and a allen wrench for the boost controller

[MikeHTally]

One receipt, for my 22" monitor (haven't taken the time to scan and store it). Very rare for anything to be in there. The infrequent bottle (water, soda, etc.) goes in the door pockets.

[oaklandopen]

damn...i was kinda hoping this thread would get more pictures, which is why i posted up in this section

you know for some reason i haven't even bothered counting, and i've had it for a while now. it holds nothing like my dad's charger (i swear there's at least $30 in quarters alone)

one concern with the cupholders i have is the foam padding that comes from the factory (at least it did with my 8.5). when i put a cup in there i always lay down 2 napkins first, cuz im affraid the condensation will mold up, or the slightest amount of soda will get on them rendering them sticky forever

Whatever they are made of is designed to become sticky when it gets wet. It will prevent a cup from moving around while you drive.

[channah]

condoms...duh!

[bgibb68]

condoms...duh!

if they sit to long in sunlght they aren't any good.....


change and a lighter

[wheresthericego]

Real cars don't have cup holders.

[madvillian]

do you guys really keep change in your ashtray and cupholders? my car vibrates like fucking hell, i would go insane listening to that clatter!

[JD45535]

i agree with natecaslin cuz my 92 Acura Integra had cup-holders in the glove box...i mean come on that is the most ridiculous spot. so i put my cups between my parking break and my seat... in my protege its usually cups lol and my iphone

[dandydaniel]

I'll take a picture tomorrow to help the thread out but I have 5 of those jdm air spencer squash refills in one cup holder, a crap load of quarters in that side pocked next to the gear box and usually my ipod in my 2nd cup holder.

[mattj3636]

european cars dont have cupholders :)

[hectik1]

Nothing. The only time anything is in the cupholders is long trips or when I pick something up to eat.

[jomil91]

A MEGA JUG! LOL nahh just... keys, Ipod, flash drive, wrappers

[mr_mazda329]

Real cars don't have cup holders.

My miata didn't come with cup holders. Must be the real deal.

But I usually keep nothing in mine. I try really hard not to trash up my cars.

[oaklandopen]

which gen was that? i had a 99 and it had 1, and then a bar you could flip 180 degrees to hold a second (provided you have the arm rest open at the same time)

and my tacoma has like 11...and they are always filled all the time

[mr_mazda329]

1st gen 97 miata

[jodacoto]

a bag of weed and a blunt

[Renzokuken]

Usually 2 of the following at a time...

-Iphone (gotta have one of these)
-badge (yes, Im a Po Po)
-sunglasses (must have for driving)
-Coffee (I get up at 4 am everyday for work, so a MUST)
-Bottle water (stay hydrated)
-Energy drink (redbull,NOS,or Monster)

[pr3dator6969]

a bag of weed and a blunt

LEGIT.

[dandydaniel]

a bag of weed and a blunt

hahaha speaking of which I have yet to de-virginize my ms3 with the wonderful smell of grape swishers and some dankkkkk. its gonna happen soon, realllll soon.

[dkswim]

i always throw my keys in there and close the door

[paylew]

I throw my keys in the passenger seat when I fill up, it's gonna bite me in the ass one day. I have change in the cup holders, and a pair of scissors... lol, don't ask.

[SHaW]

All I have in my cup holder is my ipod.

[F430TECH]

-sunglasses (must have for driving)

-Bottle water (stay hydrated)
-Energy drink (redbull,NOS,or Monster)


So I take it there are no bags of weed or blunts in YOUR cupholders?

hahah

There arent any in mine either, but apparently some people seem to think its the ideal place to store drugs of an illegal nature (five-0)

I think you should replace the Yakima rack with a light bar cause getting pulled over by a SPEED 3 = cool...

Okay done with with threadjack....

[Kindred]

Mine's empty unless I'm in the car and when I am, all that's in it is my cell phone and wallet.

[wheresthericego]

93 323 with mx3 interior no cupholder
92 miata no cupholder
I keep my phone in the console and dont eat in my cars

[Kain]

Some of you guys are slobs. Ever heard of organization?

The only thing that's ever been in my center console cupholders is the occasional cup of coffee. Water bottles go in the doors. When I'm not in my car, the only things you'll find anywhere are the owner's manual and vehicle registration.

[mckraut]

Usually a drink of some sort is in one and my AT&T Tilt is in the other, especially when I'm using it for GPS navigation.

Bonus pop quiz: Does everyone realize how easy it up to pull out the center console portion that contains the cup holders?

[F430TECH]

I throw my keys in the passenger seat when I fill up, it's gonna bite me in the ass one day. I have change in the cup holders, and a pair of scissors... lol, don't ask.

It sucks to be that little dude underneath your name...he is getting the crap beaten out of him...

[sl0wthe0ry]

Nothing...

I keep it pretty clean... But it usually holds my Iphone or my Ipod...

:-P

why in the hell would you need a iPhone AND an iPod? (weakest)


lol

[Invictus]

Just my cell phone whenever I drive. When I get out of the car, I close it.

[speed1016]

right now its my MDC and a piece of vacume hose, HAHA my cars in my shop as we speak. And I got caught up doing other crap and just left it there. :(

[sleeper3]

why in the hell would you need a iPhone AND an iPod? (weakest)


lol

I have a nano for the gym, an iPhone, and a classic 160gb so I don't have to worry about filling it up ;)



also, to answer the question, nothing usually, or my sunglasses.

[almberg32]

phone and wallet

[F430TECH]

why in the hell would you need a iPhone AND an iPod? (weakest)


lol

Iphone only hold 8 gigs of music...nowhere near enough to road trip to cali and back...

Actually I have the older Iphone with the messed up headphone jack that doesnt work with regular ones. I have had my IPOD for years its an old school with the grey screen...and never got the correct adaptor for the iphone...can just leave the IPOD in the car...

[wheresthericego]

I hate apple products they're way overrated

[mattj3636]

amen

[BurnoutX]

ah, the mac hatred.

that said, i don't need more than 1 form of an mp3 player either ;)

[bluelion]

i normally don't have anything in my cupholders. the occasional drink, but it'll go in the trash once i stop somewhere. i don't keep any change anywhere in my car cause i can't stand all the rattle. and i have a sunvisor clip for my sun glasses.

[sleeper3]

I keep my iPod in the top part of the center console though, not the cup holder...

[mattj3636]

i always angle my ipod in that little slot next to the shifter, since i have have navi its just a blank little space so its parfait for leaving it there. that or my phone...

right now in my cupholder is my wheel lock and the "door" of the cupholders is shut.

[Invictus]

since i have have navi its just a blank little space so its parfait for.
(rofl)

[Kain]

... its just a blank little space so its parfait for leaving it there.

Does the whipped cream stain your sleeve when shifting?

[guy_incognito]

Iphone only hold 8 gigs of music...nowhere near enough to road trip to cali and back...

At your standard 128kbps bitrate, 8 gigs is about 133 hours of music...you must drive pretty stinking slow.

[mattj3636]

haha 1. i meant since i dont have navi...

and 2. yes it does. haha

[sleeper3]

not having navigation sounds parfaitly delicious!

http://cookingdonelight.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/parfait.jpg

[Shiroi_ms3]

I just have my Zune sitting in there.

[blkspdfreak]

my wife always throws her change in there. the rattling kills me. i usuall put my cell phone or badge in it. ( im a military policeman). other than that its all her crap.

[Jasnall]

Iphone in change tray, with some change.
soda can and coffee cup in holders sitting on top of numerous receipts which I keep for some reason even though they just get thrown away. I practically live in my car, I drive alot for work.

[pr3dator6969]

I'll take a picture tomorrow to help the thread out but I have 5 of those jdm air spencer squash refills in one cup holder, a crap load of quarters in that side pocked next to the gear box and usually my ipod in my 2nd cup holder.

how the FUCK do you keep the change from flying all over inside the car when you get on it? lol i had the dealership remove 6 quarters from random ass places in my car. One of which was stuck back in the handbrake.

[Renzokuken]

So I take it there are no bags of weed or blunts in YOUR cupholders?

LOL, yeah, no bag of weed for me.

[Element]

Phone and house keys usually.

[ymic]

NOTHING!!! Because it's in a storage garage for winter :). Snow and Salt = evil.

[Fenrir]

Half-drunk bottle of mt. dew in the center console, another half-drunk bottle in the door cupholder :P

[capnjax21]

this relies on honesty (for ones that might not want others to know their car is dirty). so what does everyone have in their cupholders/center console area RIGHT NOW?

140806


Where did you find that change/cupholder insert? I'll need to find one that holds pennies ;)

I usually don't have anything in there. Just cleaned out all the change. I usually keep it closed. Sitting on top of it is my iPhone with a rubber casing so it doesn't fly off when I hit the gas. 20oz water bottle in driver side door holder.

edit: think i found it: http://www.amazon.com/Bell-09707-RETROFIT-COIN-HOLDER/dp/B000CC4O1M/ref=pd_bbs_5?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1230046180&sr=8-5

[squidmotion]

empty cherry coke zero can... cell phone, and keys to my boat trailer...

2 crumbs from christmas cookie...

[Alexsered]

my glock 9 cause I roll heavy in da street.






















lol, just nyquil, tire pressure sensor, and tylenol.

[TheRealDefman]

my glock 9 cause I roll heavy in da street.

Ha, what a puss... I roll with a Glock 10. That's one better now isn't it?

[TheRealDefman]

My phone is there most of the time since the seats are just a little too narrow for may ass and the phone hits the seatbelt buckle

[ecniemann]

Nothing, since I am a clean freak! Only use it for its intended purpose.....namely cups. Only use it temporarily while driving home from the drive-through. Anyone else notice the cups get in the way of shifting then? I think the console should have been moved forward and then the cupholders behind that. The console is too far back to rest my elbow comfortably.

[dan1101]

My ancient iPod sits in the cup holder closest to the shifter. Other than that, I go naked.

i keep my pennies in the ashtray...they don't really jingle that much, and i take a bunch into the mall with me when i take my son cuz he likes throwing them into the water fountains. so that keeps the number of pennies down.

[daonly1around]

calculator, camera, and phone when i'm driving... once i take the time to switch the imput in the back it will hold my ipod

[aaronc7]

pictures of your mom

[08ms3bm]

pictures of me banging aaron mom and rotus' mom

[coololddude]

Condoms!!

[b-ron]

a can of skoal and screws that go to my glove box lol

[kneedragger241]

There's nothing in my cupholder now... I'm not in the car.

Beverage of choice depends on the drive.
Morning Commute: coffee in a travel mug
To/From gym: water in a bike bottle
Road Trip: Sugar Free Rockstar, coffee or water

Change?
WTF do you use change for?
EZ-Pass FTMFW!!!
I've driven to NYC and crossed the GW about a dozen times the last 3 months and I am always dumbfounded by the number of people who don't use EZ-Pass all jammed up in the toll booths.

I keep my i-Pod in the console tray.

My Blackberry fits nicely in the groove to the right of the shifter. The rubber skin keeps it from moving around.

[dan1101]

I use change for drink machines and do-it-yourself car washes.

[kneedragger241]

I'm really against change.
Not just rattling around in my car, but altogether.

I just read that in 2007, the cost of making a penny was 1.7 cents.
And you wonder why we have problems...

[sleeper3]

what would you expect the cost of making a penny to be? Given the work that goes into it, I'd say 1.7 cents is ok.

Think of it this way: if you have a gold coin that is worth exactly it's weight in gold, then the cost of making that coin is going to be more than it is worth (materials + production). it's a fact of life. lol.

[kneedragger241]

You're justifying the high production cost of a practically worthless item?

Do you work for GM? (shrug)

[lanny709]

hahahahahah ouchhhh

[jlocurto]

front holder: one of those "big pack" of eclipse gum to hold my change since i cant find that fancy little cup holder like coin holder anywhere!
back holder: a watch to make myself look more professional :) (havent worn it in months lol)
bottle of water on the door at all times, sometimes two

i dont like having anything that sticks up too high in the cub holders because it gets in the way of shifting especially in the front one!

[MSP2024]

can of bud light hahaha

[Jon MS3]

COFFEE!!! (coffee)

[Jon MS3]

for those talking about change holders.. i cut the top half off a fuze bottle, glued black 550 cord around the sides. trimmed a black sock to fit the inside, and glued it in. it fits perfectly in the door cup holder, its all black so its hardly visible, and the change doesnt rattle much at all inside the soft sock lining. try it if your bored like i was

[kneedragger241]

There's always a Crown Royal pouch.

[iBoost]

Condoms!!

Condoms, Cigarettes and a lighter.

[lanny709]

[Sport6]

[iBoost]

poor 3 :( second hand smoke is also not good for cars!

Never said I do :) And if I did Id rather smoke in the Speed3 then my Supra...

[lanny709]

Never said I smoke it it :)

thank god! Hate when people smoke in their cars. Most likely the worst thing you could do to the interior.

[meicalnissyen]

if they sit to long in sunlght they aren't any good.....

[dizzin9]

ipod and water bottle, nice thread bumpage btw.

[my3needsaname]

Uhm...not much right now since I vacuumed it but when I drive there's an iPod 30GB in there...that's usually it. I don't really use my cupholders.

[tuOdekcalB]

great holder for my wallet and cellphone

[Sport6]

Right now because I am a slob, lots of gas receipts and receipts for coffee.

[iredremix]
