Default Cupholders...Yes, cupholders!

Ok, well I am going to be using my Mustang a little more regularly for commuting and such, and one of the biggest issues I have is with my cupholders. If I put my 44+ oz drink in the forward holder, I cant shift into 2nd or 4th. If I put it in the back cupholder, its too high up and those specially designed cupholder drink cups are way too top heavy!

Has anyone found a better solution? I am half tempted to cut out the bottom so the cups sit deeper. Hell, I've even used my armrest compartment in a pinch lol.

(and yes I have to get soda fountain drinks, not sealed bottles lol)

well at least youhave a cup holder.
zero holders in a 90 Fox.
44 oz.! you drink 44 oz., and you shouldn't need a car! just run where ever you go. think of the gas you'll save.

Truth-be-told, I have been doing 52oz thanks to my F150s super cup holders.

I work 12 hour shifts, and there is pretty much nothing here to drink so I make it last. I usually car pool so the passenger side is occupied.

I had an '88 Vert, I forgot they didnt have them as well.

Oh well.
