Default cup holders

Hey guys, just curious but what do you guys do to deal with the lack of cup holders?

I have been using the 99¢ ones, but I always end up with tea on my lap.

If you could recommend something for me that would be awesome

Got a 40/20/40 and use the ones the factory gave me!

I have used something like http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-or-Truck-Console-Organizer-With-Adjustable-Spillmaster-Cup-Holders-/171244443786?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27def6d88a&vxp=mtr in my old S10, it just screws into the bottom of the cab, I think the one I had was purchased at walmart though.

I was looking into ones like that but I have a bench seat and drive a stick... so It wouldn't fit

Doubt this would work like you said you drive stick but I'll toss it here for if anyone else is looking for ideas... just a stock cup holder painted black
The second one you can put on the seat and I belive the center seatbelt holds it in place and any autozone or Canadian tire.. almost any auto place carries these!

I had ones like fltdriver posted in my five speed truck, i had to cut the lip off one edge so it sat over top of the plastic around the bottom of the shift boot, they worked great

I actually mounted mine using the screws that held the boot down on the S10, the only interference was when I had one of those giant 64oz cups. Basically just measure the useable floor space and start looking for one that fits, most of the cup holders on those are either on the side or facing the seat so you shifter won't be hitting the drink.

I got the ones that slide in the door panel. They hold any drink fine and I can throw em in the glove box when I dont need them.

I think I have the ones your talking about. But some drinks dont touch the bottom of the holder and they tip over or break the holder

These things. I have never had a problem with any size cup using these. although sometimes its just easier to put the drink in my lap.
