Guess >what - NO DRINKS in my Saabs!! No soda, no spills, no odors, no glued >doors, no problems . . . sounds like the start of a country song. I drew the line at our neighbours (at the time - they are now gone and trying to sue us and my wife's folks over trivial stuff!) borrowing my wife's Mazda 121 and transporting their kids around in it while the kids drank coffee mixed with milk out of baby bottles. 8-) Some of it spilt on the seats... ewww. There is *no way* they would have ever got to drive my Saab! 8-) I still have not worked out a good way to add cupholders. Not having a centre console reduces the potential for mounting extra devices. >I am lucky, my office provides free coffee. I don't need to bring any >drinks.

Lol well I'm a train driver for work, and given that it's irregular shiftwork with starts as early as 2.45 am and as late as 6 pm, coffee is almost a necessity. Thankfully our local supermarket usually has big jars of various Moccona blends on sale every couple of weeks. 8-) I start at 2.45 am tomorrow morning as it happens! And also on Sunday. Fun fun fun... Good thing is that I finish work before lunchtime with starts earlier than 4 am.
