Default Cup Holder

This is what I would class a stupid dumb irritant. There is only one cup
holder on the C5 it is shallow and my Tim's tips over. Anyone have a
recommendation for an after market addition that works.

MY GOD, YOU EAT IN A CORVETTE???

Here's a couple, I've tried neither. I need one that has a napkin dispenser
so I can eat fried chicken and fish without getting everything greasy.

The only cup holders I like require wire reinforcements.

Two cup holders with a C6 attached.

Don't feel bad...same problem in my wife's Cadillac....turn a corner and
coffee everywhere..only really good cup holders I have seen in American cars
have been in the Chrysler/Dodge cars..I guess GM designers never eat or
drink in their cars.

Those are just little marine can holders. You can find them at most any
boat store or outdoor/camping store.

Default Cup Holder

My wife's Corolla a few years ago was the same. I think all these guys
think cups are 2 inches tall and have zero mass.

The best cup holder I ever had was a full roll of duct tape on the little
console table in my vans. Never tipped over, never slid since the duct tape
would stick to the surface.

Not exactly the aesthetics you were wanting though, eh?

For my bench-seat El Camino, I made one out of a plastic weight from
an old bench press set and a PVC end cap with a coozy slipped inside.

The picture indicates why having only one cup holder could be a real
nuisance....
