Drinking & Driving

[DatDoug]

Cmon! You know you all do it!:fu: Onthe way to work in the morning or after your morning workout. Maybe on the way to drop off your kid @ daycare?:eek: Or if your like me you even do it in the afternoon after lunch or on your way home from a hard days work.

 

You get into your Datsun with a fresh Hot COFFEE and get ready to take off, but wait:blink: Theres no where to put it:confused: NO CUP HOLDERS! So after a few times of nearly wrecking cuz you got coffee in one hand cell phone in other you decide to do something about it:mad: I did. I went to my friendly auto parts store and bought a cup holder. The kind you hang on anything that protrudes out in your Datto. Problem is you put in your 24 OZ coffee drink and the cheap thin plastic bends (especially in our recent heatwave) and you av 24 oz's of hazlenut cinammon all over your floorboard:eek:

 

Now what I want to know is there any smart mofos out there that have come up with a solution to said problem? For me its a reg cab 620 with no cup holders. Please tell me about your genius ideas and show pics:D

I made a fiberglass replacement for the ashtray in my 240z center console :D

 

holds large fountain drinks, bottles, cans, and even the big arizona ice tea cans :D

[LAYEDOUTB2K]

in my 1200 i had bought one of those center consoles from autozone and mounted it down. i got the one with the adjustable holders so you can get the drinks tight in there. you know, those tallboys are pretty top heavy when you are driving. :blink: jk if you have a factory center console in there, this probably wouldnt work.

Why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?

 

Has anybody seen the 88-94 silverado cup holders?

I'll take some pics of the one I have. I think those might work well in the 521 and 620's.

LAYEDOUTB2K, is that a Corolla console thing on your e-brake? That has a cup holder, that's good enough for me.

I don't do this very often, but just today at lunch I was holding a 32oz fountain Pepsi with my balls. I need ideas too.

PBR!

holy shit Doug! I can't tell you how many times I dealt with this in my 620, fuckin' drove me nuts! I had to wedge my lunch box and a circle-K 32oz. cup up against my coffee cup, which was up against the rear cab wall. There is still to this day a shit load of coffee on the floor of that truck.:lol:

your guess is as good as mine. it was something that was laying around in our shop and it fit. but there is a small possibility that it is out of one. i always used that compartment for my phone and cigs so i needed something else.

Not to toot my own horn but I think I might have the baddest cup holders on the planet. :D

[fastdadd]

i have this mini keg cup that i use for coffee and it wedges in between he seats perfectly....so just get a bigger coffee cup and problem solved:lol:

I do believe that are right Datrod. For a cupholder that cool, i would toot my own horn too.:D

 

Doug, I have gotten very good at removing the floormat in my 620 to hose it out because of this problem. I havent found a good solution yet either. I have been watching for a early 90's base model civic to hit the yards. They have a little console that screws down and the lids pops up and two cup holder appear. Super clean when lid is closed too.:rolleyes: I just havent found one yet, only seen one in a customers car.:fu:

[lynchfourtwenty]

when i had my buckets in i just used the tranny tunnel/passenger seat.. it held most things pretty well, as long as i had drinkin some of it lol

[bonvo]

with my cup i just seatbelt it down to the passenger seat its to big for cupholders and if theres someone in the passenger seat they automaticly become "drink bitch"

[motavated]

I'm already building it.

Granted its ratty as hell but it works great until I put my gauge surround back on. Then I have to put in a center console.

[ronnny]

That same cup holder that you hang on everything. Cut the part that hangs off of it. 2 self tapping screws through the bottom to where ever looks or is easy to get too. if you habit smaller cups a zip tie to keep the front from opening up in the curves. Done in my last 3 trucks.

[SRSANDS]

Ratsun style...throw a new roll of duct tape on the passenger floor board...there you go problem solved it holds drinks and wont tip over plus you can remove it when needed. I do this in my semi at work! It works good

[das280zx]

I use "nature's cup holder," which is your crotch! Also on my zx, a cup fits ok (depending on the cup) btw the center console and the passenger seat. If you flip down a zx's glove box door, there are two little "cup holders" but only if the car is sitting still and level.

[izzo]

dunno what it came out of, but the PO stuck this in there. works great and doesnt tip, holds CDs, cups and change. really only use the cup holder part, sometimes ill throw some screws or w/e i have laying around in the cd holder part.

 

 

[datsunfish]

620 kc cwnter console box between the buckets works ok in the 510. Gotta have enough crap stuffed in there to hold up the coffe cup though.
