Imagine you’re going thru the motions of a series of events that has become familiar - Waiting around for the idjit that is parked at the only diesel pump at the station to leave so that you can fuel up. A bystander strikes up the same conversation you’ve had multiple times - “Is that your truck?” “Yep!” “What’s wrong with your weiner?” “NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY WEINER!!!!”

You then proceed to enter the store part of the station to wash you hands in an attempt to get the nasty pump smell off of them, because Angry Diesel Gnomes have made a mess of the pump handle for no apparent reason. While in there, you think “Huh. A S’mores Frappuccino would greatly improve my mood.” So you get one.

Upon returning to your truck, you place your newly acquired S’mores Frappuccino in the closest cupholder to the driver of the 15 available. Only to discover....

What the eff!?!?!?!?! Who thought up this design? It is utterly useless, for cups or bottles or any other purpose. Everyone responsible needs to be sacked.

At least you can put a drink in it. Unlike the 3 cupholders in my Mini.

At least you have other cup holders to use. This is the only one I have and its broken.

That's basically the manufacturer telling you they don't want you to drink in their car.

Crossfire. The SLK had this but Chrysler was like “nah”.

Neither of my cars even has a cupholder.

worse than saab cup holders?

They’re cool and all, but I wouldn’t trust them with much. Not that I have to worry about that, 3 cars and not a single cup holder between them.

My 280zx has no cup holders but it has two incredibly shallow cup shaped indents on the inside of the glove box...

Could be worse.

I had the horizontal style in my Saab, but it was broken (of course) so I’d hit the button and it would slide out and then just flop downward. I could manually position the parts into a semi-useful cupholder, but it was embarassing. I should have filmed it.

You don’t even know. Those stupid little indents on airplane trays for cups? I have those. Inside my glovebox lid. So not only can you not actually put a bottle or cup inside it, you can’t put in anything over four inches tall (or like two inches wide as they’re basically on top of each other). They’re absolutely pathetic.

I like your car, but it would be better with one less cupholder
