donot worry mike. i was not refering to anyone in particular.
besides, cup holders make a great place to keep the boos while you are working on your car.. if you put your drink to close to your tools, you are liable to nock it over while going for a 3/8 drive. and that would be alcohol abuse, which we all know is bad....

Something I used to do in my old '82 GSL... 'course, it only works if you're on a freeway, or a road with almost no turns... works really well for large and supersize drinks from McDonalds.. if you set the drink just right and balance it, it'll rest on the bottom of the steering wheel and lean against the horn button.. voila, instant cupholder and very accessible, too... LOL Ahhh.. I remember eating, smoking and driving a stick all at the same time while in traffic... damn, I hate auto trannies... LOL

I wedged a 20 oz soda bottle in my Honda's steering wheel and took a turn expecting it to fall out. (Cap was on)... Amazingly, it didn't fall out.

p.s. MyRxBad,
yeah I was thinking of also adding some glue and a support bracket to go with the six screws, what do you think?
Naw man,...there was already six counter-sunk holes on the mount, definitly over kill.

I might be mistaken, but that looks pretty much the same as the sa's ashtray. i think they might work However, i'll give someone else the pleasure of finding out 
I'm going to be putting my power window and mirror switches in that location, nicely hidden my the ashtray cover, i think.
BTW, has anyone taken apart the sa ashtrays and wondered why there was that small rectangular translucent green peice, with a crosshatch pattern on top? There's no light underneath it in my car, at least. (i'll put an LED in there for kicks tho...eventually have a blinking light to show an armed security system, like the others guys have )....

ben97: the light that you are talking about in the sa ashtrays, it lights up in my car.. well atleast it did when it was in my 80..
i think that the size of the ash trays are the same in series one and two.. when ever i get a chance, i am going to swing over to mazda and pick up one of those miata cupholders, like badass was talking about... i will let you know how it works

LOL...I feel you all on the lack of cupholders!! I LMAO when I saw those dinky little glove box things, too.
I typically shove whatever I'm drinking in between my seat and the door at kind of an angle. That works pretty well...Especially when whatever it is has a cap or lid on it...The only problem is if it's like a cardboard fast food cup...The cup bows from the pressure popping the lid off a bit...I usually don't know it, but figure it out REAL quick whenever I take a turn. Good thing I shampoo my carpets...
