cupholders Options

[rayneezy23]

I hate the cupholders in our cars there so dumb like its so hard to shift into gears, just wanted to let you all know

[95CelicaST]

ok.

[DSToyo]

join the club

[96bluevert]

well you do know they can just slide back under the arm rest...lol

Just dont have drinks in the car when driving OR buy a couple of plastic ones that hook on your glove box/door panle for like $0.50 each

[BloodyStupidDave...]

I hate the way the rain drips in from the roof if the windows are open a bit. I hate the way the cigarette lighter fouls the gearstick. And I hate the silly clips that hold in the parcel shelf. They fall out and then I loose them.

[m0dd3d1]

Parcel shelf?

[azian_advanced]

^^ he means the trunk cover lid for hatchbacks..

Stupid design the cup holders - how are you and the passenger supposed to drink coffee and use the ashtray - anyone would think they didn't want you drinking and smoking whilst driving

thats a pretty good question what were they thinking haha

[95CelicaST]

thats a pretty good question what were they thinking haha

They were thinking that the Celica is a driving machine- and thus should be driven, not waist time on trivial things such as "How will I smoke and drink and drive all at the same time?"

lol..X2, it's not like it's a luxury car, it's meant to be a compact-sports car

When your in a car you drive....If your gonna talk on the phone/eat/smoke...either find a way to do it WITHOUT it affecting your judgement or pull off the road. When you drive you drive.

Who is this aimed at? If it's at me then perhaps you should re-read my post to see the tongue in cheek humour. If not then no worries

[manphibian]

Yeah, and i hate the way the centre of the steering wheel, where the airbag is sticks out. It makes reading the newspaper difficult on the way to work

[Daftboy]

Was not aimed at anyone....it just just annonies me to be driving down the road with people on the phone having a cig. and trying too eat lunch...makes no sense to me...smoking is the only I can see...but only on the highway.

LOL, that's me in trouble then - we don't have highways

In the UK you get 3 points and a £60 fine if caught on the phone by the police (12 points and you loose your license) so basically it is treated as strongly as minor speeding

And manphibian - your an Amateur if your only reading the paper - a mate of mine who is in the traffic police stopped a woman who had a calculator strapped to her thigh for weaving dangersouly - turned out she was doing number crosswords whilst driving

[Daftboy]

wow....people tend to forget that when you drive you are in control of your life and the lives of others. A two ton hunk of steel driven at 60 MPH should not be driven with a uncaring demeanor.

[DSToyo]

try changing your shirt or better yet shaving your face while driving...


thats not me, but ive seen it on the highway.......but seriously whats wrong with having a drink while you drive? that was what this topic was about i guess.

There isn't anything wrong about having a drink. The whole thread is about the horrible placement of the cup holder.


<---- this guy has changed his pants while driving

[BigAl_UK]

this guy has changed his pants while driving

I'm tempted to ask how the hell you managed that but I'm not sure I want to know

[95CelicaST]

I was on some backroad and I had just gotten off work. I had my nice Dockers on and I had a pair of jeans in the car as well. I put the cruise on at like 40mph and the rest pretty much explains itself.

[Kamakaze]

anybody try just installing cuholders somewhere else lol

[95CelicaST]

I remember someone had put in a 1/2 din cupholder slide-out below their Cd player, but with the angle of our dash I'm not sure how good it would be.

[Daftboy]

Yea someone did do that I believe they used the cup holders from a Ford Tarus/Sable ..

ive shaved my face on my way to work b4! I was running late and the electric shaver ketches the lil hairs. Works good lol but it takes talent to steer shave shift and smoke at the same time ive dont it. Lol yes i kno it not safe but had to be done.

[jcaron9gt4]

i saw a lady knitting today while she was driving lol

[tomazws]

My friend used to do her make up while driving, finally got poked in the eye and stopped doing that ever since.

[95CelicaST]

I was on my way to school today (What school has saturday morning classes??!?!) and I saw some girl doing her makeup down the road... going 20 in a 45. The guy in front of me got over in front of her and slammed on his brakes. She had to swerve into a parking lot so she wouldn't hit him. Serves her right. Park in a damn parking spot and do your makeup... or wake up earlier.

[BigAl_UK]

Hey, on my way to work I regularly drink coffe, smoke and read the paper


















Mind you, it's tricky enough when your walking - would hate to do it driving

[spolski07]

haha only thing ive done or "gotten done to me" i cant say on 6gc! lol
hint: involves a girl

[2003cbgts]

my uncle once took a full on **** while driving, apparently, his good friend alcohol talked him into it

[Shocker]

Done it several times.... Not that hard really. Take shoes off, Turn cruise control on. Remove left leg. Remove right leg. Put new pants on! Bam, fresh pants

[BigAl_UK]

Ah, I forget that the USDM Celica has cruise control - hell, my JDM Celica doesn't even have ABS

[Shocker]

i dont have cruise control or abs...i feel your pain

[rayneezy23]

having cruise control in a 5 speed is hella awkward to me just in my oppinion

[Negative]

why? You are not trying to gain or lose speed with Cruise so why would it be a problem at all? Mine works rather well.

[95CelicaST]

Why is it awkward? Cruise control is for cruising, not for between shifts.

[DSToyo]

^x2, cruise in a 5spd is not at all awkward. it shuts off when you hit the brake or shift gears anyway iirc

If you put in the clutch, hit the brakes, or give it gas it will shut off.

[uberschall]

back on topic, kinda:

you guys should try owning a german car (mercedes or porsche, specifically)...they don't have cupholders at all. just a couple divots on the inside of the glove compartment door. you can only use them when the car isn't moving.

just imagine an angry arnold schwarzenegger voice saying "no, you CANNOT enjoy your beverage while piloting ziss exquisite german automobile!"

[Daftboy]

its also a huge fine if your caught drinking or tailgating there...and the fines are based on your income not a set fine

Fines based on income? Man that's fcuked. Guess some of us would get $2 fines tho. LOL.

I guess that depends on if they taking modifying expenses into account or not
