Finally a cupholder!
 
One of my biggest gripes abt my 944 has been solved.

Too bad the prices are ridiculous. Costs 50 bucks.
I guess I can still live with never having an open drink container in my car.
Anyone interested in a group buy?

TCMdocs944 08-31-2004 05:13 PM

Wouldn't trust it with a BigGulp.

fast924S 08-31-2004 07:49 PM

hey it looks better then those stupid fold out bolt anywhere ones

flangermog 09-01-2004 07:02 AM

I'd miss the armrest....

VINMAN 09-01-2004 07:15 AM

I'd be knocking it over with my elbow

Panzer909 09-01-2004 07:26 AM

Bad location

horrible design

even worse price tag



I'd never "Americanize" such a classy car. Leave it to the teenage chicks in their trash-filled Cavaliers with CDs & Coke cans all over the floor.

VINMAN 09-01-2004 08:08 AM

I stick the cups between the seat and the door behind the Pk-brake. ssems like them only secure location.

real sports cars don't have cupholders :)

Ex - Girlfriend?:D :D :D






just let it go......just let it go.........

I don't know about you guys, but in my car, even with the cupholder, the drink would still spill.

This is a sports car, not a limo..

However, it's a different story in my maxima, I always get pissed off because the cup holders are too small to hold anything of signifigance.

lol - nah, I wouldn't be so lucky;)

I work in the city and school is back in here at the universities; its fun to watch the.................trends. (ahem)

TCMdocs944 09-01-2004 09:00 AM

I have thought about a cupholder a few times.....just not real practical.



I too would terribly miss the armrest. Most car manufacturers do not seem to realize that we actually put our arm here when we drive. My girls 5y/o SUV has one that is cracking just like all of ours.

What someone really needs to come up with is a titanium armrest with supple leather cover that never needs replacing....THAT, I would pay $50 bucks for!

jm951 09-01-2004 09:23 AM

If you have to have a drink along, why don't you get a soda in a bottle with a cap. Just put it between the seat and the door over the parking brake. Past that, you shouldn't be drinking and driving. :D

dj_yen 09-01-2004 09:25 AM

I have already gotten used jamming a bottle of some sort in between the seats or something but there have been many times where I just really wanted a cup of coffee while on a long drive.

TCMdocs944 09-01-2004 09:26 AM

The bottle flys out and wedges itself under the clutch pedal......really happened once.

Makenzie71 09-01-2004 09:29 AM

I've always thought about making a custom armrest thingy and leaving two cutouts in it for cupholders. I'll post it if I get around to trying it...I'll sell it cheap too...lol

For most of P-car owners, drilling holes in the car is a big NO-NO, but for those that feel relaxed about modifying a car, here's a fair location for a cup holder:

will that fit onto a late 944? does that cupholder require drilling holes into the dash?

Stan944 09-01-2004 10:09 AM

I don't know about late 944; take a ruler and check against a cupholder you're considering. Yes, drilling is required, so this is not a solution for everybody. You can gain access to tighten the nuts after removing the glove compartment (in early 944).
