Default A cup holder that actually works

When I first bought my C5, I couldn't believe the cup holder. Not good for holding anything other than change.
Well, with all the coffee I drink, I had to fix that! I was at a local dollar store by my in-laws house picking up some trash bags when I saw something i had to try.
I bought one of those ashcups you put in your cupholder, threw the top away, screwed it into the cup holder, and in 3 years, I've never spilled a drop. Coffee, water, soda, cell phone, ipod, anything that will fit down in there, will stay put.

Best thing is, you can unscrew it, close the top, and you are back to stock for shows.
Best $1.00 mod ever!

At 7.00 bucks a pound, if you want a shot of N2O to chill your beer, you better be running along side the car when I hit the purge button.
