I've had my car since January and usually just throw my spare change in the cupholder. The other day I cleaned it out to find that the back cupholder has a little cover deal that pulls out to make the back one deep. Now it makes holding bigger drinks a breeze. Guess you learn something new everyday.
Yeah, I knew about that, but the 64oz drink bottom still wouldn't even fit it's so big around. Dang you AM/PM.

I go to 7-11 and i buy the super big gulps. I think they are about 44 oz. i know its 1.3 liters and i drink them all the time and they fit in the larger cupholder especially when i pull out the insert
About 2 months back I went to Sonic with my girlfriend. She got one of those java chiller things that has whipped cream on top. I was turned around backing out when I hear her say, "Don't look down." I of course looked and the entire whipped cream topping was in my leather shift boot. I was pretty pissed but didn't say much. We got back to her house and took out the shift boot and cleaned it with paper towels and leather cleaner. It came out but I was still pretty pissed. Now every time we go to sonic I ask her to be careful. I hope that never happens again.
That's my drink!! Unless she took the lid off I'm not understanding how the whipped cream jumped out of the cup, but I digress. That's not the world's biggest cup (I get the regular) and it's still all I can do to shift around it. I cannot imagine how you'd shift around 64 ozs!!
Thankfully you have leather interior. I don't lose my mind when something gets on the leather b/c it's pretty easy to clean.
For many years we did fine without cup holders...after all we knew it was bad enough smoking a cigarette and periodically taking our eyes off the road to flick the ashes in the ashtray...well now the cup holders have become the latest distraction. I use the cup holder for other items (i.e. cell phone, sunglasses), but not for drinks...lesson learned, shift to drinking water with no sugar...

Me too - I put my cell phone in it. I can't drink pop so unless I get a caramel java chiller, I don't usually have a drink in the car at all.
Spilling Mt. Dew has to be the worst!
I don't even allow food in my interior just in the trunk..
im glad im not alone

I never drive with any drinks in my mustang ( I haven't as yet ) after all these stories just reminds me why I am not going to start.

My dad (who owns a 2005 Mustang GT) asked me when I told him about the "incident"-
"Don't you know the cardinal rule?"
"What rule?"
"Thou shalt not eat in my mustang"
I laughed...
I guess maybe it's because I still have a Nutri-grain wrapper and Pop-Tart wrapper in my car. Guess I should clean out the interior this weekend.
...a couple of empty water bottles...
...some paper trash...
WOW, I really need to clean out my car.
