Cupholders in the US...

[David Head <dave.head@worldnet.att.net>]

Since the end of February I've put 20,000 miles on my 200q. This is
normal mileage for me. I do 2500 miles on a 3 day weekend to pick up and
deliver my wife's boys. Try driving 300 miles at a crack on straight
highway with nothing to drink. In an hour I'll drive 270 miles round
trip and be home by 1030 pm.
Having driven in Europe, I can understand no need for cupholders. People
in Europe that have never or rarely driven in the US have a hard time
visualizing the 2 day drive on dead straight roads to cross Texas on the
bottom end. I don't consider it a good driving day if I haven't crossed
4 states. I put a cooler in the passenger side footwell and hit the
road!
