Re: Cup Holder Alternatives... =-)
I use mine frequently - with no issues - except when I go round corners too fast and some slops out of the drink hole.
I've even smashed it with my elbow a couple of times (whilst it's up) getting in the car and it still works great.
It holds a beer bottle perfectly, besides coffee.
I believe the Cyril Baldwin (I think) stores his gun there - there's a pic somewhere!!!
