I bought a 'stained to match' plywood insert for the console with two cup holders on eBay a couple of years ago. Almost never use it because you can't with the arm rest down and it is an inconvenient angle at best with the armrest up. I've never spilled hot coffee on myself [just burned my mouth a few times] but see enough possibilities that I'd rather see it a bit safer, and I've never met anyone who hasn't done some stupid stuff. I don't think this is an issue we will agree on, Curt.

Oh and if you put coffee between your legs and it burns you you get what you get. Coffee is supposed to be hot, if it was cold you'd complain. A cup thats between your legs is full of stuff thats going to get on you. The first thing to do is to admit that you do stupid stuff, then look at your life and say "If I did that what would happen" then when you come up with negative answers don't do those things. So: If I put a cup of hot coffee between my legs and it spills what happens? I get hot coffee all over my crotch and I might be burned. Okay so that sounds like a bad thing, I guess I shouldn't do that... A DD medium coffee fits perfectly just in front of the arm rest and if you're very careful you can use the armrest to apply enough pressure so it won't move. I've considered making a small cutout to hold a cup more solidly, might do that some day, a piece of styrofoam covered in fabric might work nice and be removeable so other stuff could live there. -Curt --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
