Finally found something that fits in my cup holders

A Hardee's large cup seems to be made for it. A Wendy's medium just barely doesn't fit right. Too bad the other cup holder is so far away it's useless to hold my fries.

Also this is near me, thought it would be somewhat interesting to share.

I do not trust swing out cupholders, no matter the brand of car. Especially after The Incident

I'm always amazed by the shit I can fit in mine actually. Mine will take a Honest Tea bottle, which is fat around and made of glass.

My slide outs will hold two full 44 oz cups.

why are your heated seat controls under your HVAC controls? Aren't they supposed to be down here?

Consider yourself lucky to have any cupholders. My 92 Grand Marquis has a total of zero. I have to use one of those aftermarket deals that sits on the hump, and if there's a large enough drink and you take a turn hard enough, it will fly off the hump. But the car does have an ash tray up front and one in each back door...

I think they changed it after lci so like 2011ish. Angers me because it's optioned out and I have a bunch of blank buttons. #firstworldproblems I guess.

Yeah, that's what we thought, till we hit a bump, then BAM 88 ounces of sweet, frozen hell.

All over my crotch

I mean a lot of things fit, but this was like perfect. No room for it to even wobble and it was in there to tight where it's harder to remove.

They seem flimsy but nothing is keeping me away from my God given right of fast food and driving.

Well, at least it's also not stuck on top of a barn.

Oh Hardee's, how I miss you.

Stuff flies out of solid mounted ones as well. Source: Took my Dad's truck around a turn at 10mph and launched a frappe across the cab.

It's about the best truck stop food with a drive-through you can find. I'm sorry you have to miss out on it.

Didn't notice the car up there until now. Also your heat is set to 69...

Goddamn right, this is America. Just let my tragic ball-freezing serve as a warning.

Oh, no doubt. But this was a case of the entire thing snapping off. The cups were still wedged side by side in the plastic holder when I screamed and threw them out the window.

Ah, well at 20 years old and over 180k miles, my Toyota ones are as strong as ever.

We have Carl's Jr here, which is the same company and most of the same food. Unfortunately, they don't quite have the same menu which means no mushroom and swiss burger.

...which would set off my OCD to no end if I were in that car.

Could've been worse. Could've been sweet burning hell

Interesting, I always thought they were the same thing.

70 gets to hot for me and I can't handle it while 68 is too soft and relaxing.

Ah that makes sense. My pre-LCI 330i which was loaded had all the switches on the lower button panel. My LCI 335 which I upgraded to has pretty much no options so I didn't realize the heated seats moved. BMW is weird about that sort of thing.
