cup holders - erniecarpet@... - 10-28-2006 10:01 Great idea. Ashtrays have always been, in our coaches, catch alls- mostly for coins. Gonna put some rock salt brine in my holding tanks tomorrow for the upcoming , short lived 11 degree temps.

Then along came Snapple, super size soda bottles, water bottles and Starbucks Super Grande 50 gallon drum coffee cups . So it was time to upgrade the retro cup holders. I went to a boat store and found just the right size holder. Boat prices, but I was desperate! I brought the center console into my wood shop (now filled with old rusty Suburban propane heater parts, sticky air valves, cans and bottles of cleaners, waxes, oils, transmision fluid, power steering fluid, and many other non-working, but can't bring myself to trash, parts) I was about to enlarge the existing holes and jamb my new 'boat' cup holders in, when it dawned on me that there are two ashtrays in the console. Neither my wife nor I smoke, so what do I need these for? So I took out the ashtrays, enlarged the holes and stuffed my new, bigger cup holders in. Now I have two large and two standard cup holders. No matter what size bottle or cup I have I can have a nice fit and not have the smaller cups and bottles rattle around like a flea in a boxcar in the new, bigger cup holders. So that's how I spent my day. Along with a half dozen other small repairs and wiring upgrades. What did you do this weekend? cup holders - erniecarpet@... - 10-28-2006 20:23 Julie- that message has been removed.

I don't believe the post was sincere, but it reveals the posters cup has little to hold. Dont ease up, always stand up.
