Yeah, but the design of the '86 4000 that I used to own was perfect. I could
slide a travel mug between the driver's seat and the ebrake. Fit perfectly
and held in place by the seat! Unfortunately my 5000 doesn't have the same
feature, so I use a nalgene bottle, keeping it closed tightly so it can roll
around and not spill when it isn't clenched between my legs! LOL!
