Default I am a long time from this point....

but i was super bored and learned how to use sketch up today, so i made this up
what do you guys think?
it might be more than i can handle to make this, but i like the idea
also i know the measurements and probably shape of the whole thing is off but whatever

I love Sketchup. Any of you reading this can get it for free. Just google sketchup.

Anyway, I think it looks good, but the armrest doesnt look comfortable somehow. Try messing with "materials" in sketchup, you can add textures and colors.

Looks good to me. I like the design. I can't believe it took the auto industry 80 years or so to figure out cup holders. You have plenty of them.
Not bad at all for one day's learning.

cup holders didnt come around until fast food was around.

Think about it, even when mcdonalds started and you always had the drive up diner and even drive in theatres you ate then left and didnt take the stuff with you.

take home food was not a norm until what the last 30 years?

+1, Sketchup is an amazing program I used it a lot in my junior year of high school for my architecture class. I designed many a home on it and wouldn't you know, I spend the majority of my time on the garage.

Anyways, you did a good job the on the drawing, definitely something that would make a good project.
