great find dude!!! lets hope it isn't obtrusive. guess it is better than having your passenger hold the drinks.

me and my cousin took a drive by ourselves(we drive different) he drives like grandma,i drive pretty fast. 3 types of cups used in this test
1. coffee cup w/screw on lid, stayed balanced pretty good. on curves did not tip or going on left or right hand turnes on take off or merging into traffic.
2. 20 oz bottle fits perfect with a little snugness. no problems

3. mixed drink type of cup(prototype only) does not do good it would do better balanced on my knee

last test was with a passenger.if your thin its ok for the passenger, but when my neighbor got in, well lets just say its not a good day for a fat guy .

fd racer, ihad one of those . took it out of my wrecked fiero. had it in the same place. worked pretty good. also had the hands on the dash that wrap around the drink. that lasted about as long as my hula girl
