Germans don't have alot of things...

Zyalatr,

Ok... so they don't have cup holders, but they still use their ashtrays!!! So lighting up a cancer stick is ok while driving at 160 km/h. And I am just guessing on this one, but your rap music is probably playing so loud in your car that it not only distracts you, but every other driver on the road.

From what I've heard, some dealers (in the past) would "goodwill" a new computer, but that was years ago.

Make sure your drink has a lid on it and don't use the cupholder.

Aloha Guys - thanks for the feedback...

Unfortunately, trying to clean up the mess over a few days didn't work so I had no choice but to "pay the piper." My MB tech gave me a break on the price, though... not sure why, but maybe the smiling & flirting may have helped :-) And in case there's any question in your minds, guys, my MB tech is really a great GUY, and I don't think there's any doubt in his mind that I'm definitely a WOMAN... :-) A woman hot for CLKs...it's a curse, I tell you... (jk!)

Anyways, that $.99 drink cost me $750!!! Never Again! So, I implemented Formoque's Rule (thanks Formoque!) when I got my car back - No Bevs Allowed Ever!!! And BENO, I'm with you...

Thanks again guys!

Has anyone done this? Pix?

A car was made to drive and a diner to eat/drink. cup-holders are an American invention :-)

You can purchase a boot at pep-boys, Autozone, etc. and bring that to a shoemaker with the plastic trim and have them trim to size and glue.

I've been using the elastic cargo net on the passenger side to hold my (covered) drinks. Works great!
