So many cupholder inside the cab and not a single strawholder under the hood??!! If I had known about the meltdown I could have driven with the hood up to balance the temps, I thought, after all I could use the camera, but then realized the camera is on the back. Damn you fast food place again! Now I'm condemned to search all over the internet, till the end of my days, for a reliable straw! <sigh> and a straw holder too as I used all the tape <sigh><sigh> Luckily there are a few cool mods that you fellow truckers posted here that will keep me from going insane . Thanks for that!
