Yes, Ford still hasn't figured out the cup holder in the mustang problem. I just put the drink between my legs.

Does anyone else here who drives a manual find that the cupholders in the center console are completely useless for holding drinks? I cant shift if there is anything in there, gets in the way of my arm, Ah well, at least the rest of the car is kick ***.
Stop your whinning! Try using the cup holders in a 2000 Mustang with manual tranny. now THAT is a useless cup holder! 2/4/and R all hit anything taller than the ashtray thingie (my change holder) and the one behind it can't fit larger than a 32 OZ drink even then you're reaching over it.

Remove the false bottom from the rear cup holder and a can will fit in there and be flush.
thats where i hide my natty ice when i get pulled over.

jk, i hid it under the front of the seat. but seriously now, its only the front cup holder that can be a pain, im 6'4 and have really long arms and the back one really doesn't bother me at all.

well I rest my elbow on the console thing where you put stuff in and keep my hand on the shifter. I never bring drinks in the car anyways, but other people who ride with me do, I mainly use it to hold my cell phone while its on speaker.

Yea, mine is mostly used for storing change, cell phone, and other small stuff. The only time I use it to hold cups or bottles is when parked at Sonic. lol

in my cupholders I have 2 golfballs, an Oakley sunglasses soft lycra case thing...and a pen....

see I was going to put the pen in the "map pocket" that's in the door panel...but it's too small to hold the pen.

Lol, I once put my tire pressure gauge in there without thinking.... for a week I kept hearing this rattling noise, it was driving me INSANE, I was about to go to the dealer with the problem when I rediscovered it [8D]
