Steve- Funny you should mention this. As much as I like the V8, I was annoyed
that the car had no cup holders, nor any good place to put one. My oldest son
(the Porsche owner/mech, not the one you met) took pity on me and fabricated a
cup holder for me out of some kind of black plastic. It has a removeable
collar so it fits both common diameter drink containers. The collar is white,
and serves as a guide point for night driving. The unit fits just forward of
the E brake handle and conforms to the little pocket. On my automatic, it
covers the transmission mode selector, and prevents me from down shifting into
2nd or 1st. It is held in place with velcro and easily removeable.Send me your
mail address, and I will send you some photo graphs.
