Avoid spilling liquid onto TCM/console

I heard enough about the TCM being shorted out by spilling liquid onto the center console, costing mega $, all because of the flimsy cup holder design. So couple of months ago, I saw this RG cup holder at Target (a little pricey, I believe it's $15) that fit perfectly into the fan vent. I waited to make sure it works - and it has as it can hold the largest (24 oz??) cup from Taco Bell without a problem. While it may not be so original, I thought I would share so someone may avoid replacing the TCM.

Thanks for sharing your tip. When I'm in Target next time I'll look for that. I've been passing up the Automotive section at the one we have here because they eliminated most of what they used to have on the shelves.
