Cup holders

On my Integra I installed a Ford taurus cup holder. Looks to also fit in the rx-7 if you have an aftermarket radio. Worth a shot since it's a pain in the *** to drive, shift gears and hold a drink without spilling. Yet another thing to use from a Taurus.

Don't drink and drive.


but that could work. Maybe if you moved the radio to the cubby hole, and put the cup holders above.

Oh I know this for a fact. I have that same thoughts about cars with cupholders. Atleast this way you can remove the part that says "cup" and still be in the game after you pull out of mc donalds on a hot day with your drink. hahaha

It seems to me that it would be a pain in the *** to shift with one of those.

And IMHO you shouldn't be drinking anything but a water bottle in a 7 anyway. But of course, if you want to go all the way, get an automatic (so that you don't have to "bother" with shifting), install the cupholder and go all out

(not meant as an insult, just jabbing at ya)

Jon, what the hell is the matter with you? That's no good. I don't like automatic vehicles. What if someone cuts me off? Then I can't throw my drink at that person and take off like I would in a stick shift. Plus a water bottle would just bounce off not giving the whole sticky soda all over the car effect on the other vehicle. Hello!

Hahaha.

So noone drinks and drives here?

tsk tsk, you shouldn't drink and drive, you might spill your beer!

Which, of course, is more of a shame with Canadian beer, since it's stronger

My cup holder consists of shoving a 20 oz. bottle between the seat and the door. Sometimes, I'll shove it between the passenger seat and the center console, though.

I love the decal on it! Not a bad idea either.

I used to drink and drive but the ice cubes kept falling out of my drink.
Had to give up jogging for the same reason. Well that and its really hard to light a cigarette when your jogging.

i use the water bottle most times. but there was one night when i was a god among men. it was three in the morning i and i had a super larger surpie from 7-11. i pulled up to the red light and then it hit me. i had to make a left hand turn from a stop in a stick 7 with no power steering and a drink in my hand. it was so awesome. it was like i was out of my body watching this magnificant event. each movement seemed to flow into the next as i turned that corner.

yes i got a little off track, but it always makes me feel better to think about.
