[DeTomaso] Cup holders - Pantera and Longchamp content

[Mikael]

" between the driver seat and console ", I'd prefer between passenger seat
and console, don't have anything loose that could work its way into the
driver's footwell and be in the way of using the pedals. I've sold that
argument to my wife, so when cruising to Le Mans she has all the bottles,
small bags, jackets etc. I have room to drive the car. All in the name of
safety.

Cup holders are very different, even in cars from the same company. My
recent Dodge Vision had a pop-up cup holder that was broken and glued in 6
places. My Jeep from the same year has a cup holder you can jump up and down
on without breaking it.

I don't want a cup holder in my Pantera. But I would like to have one in my
Longchamp. And a good cup holder places the bottle in the cold A/C air
stream for cold drinks in the summer. Haven't found one that would be able
to reach far enough and that wouldn't look totally out of place in my nice
Longchamp interior yet...

 When I drive long distances I need to have water to drink.   On my driving
odyssey from Iowa to the Fun Ralley and back last spring I figured out that
a supersized soft drink cup with a plastic lid and straw can be squeezed
between the driver seat and console so that it won't move when driving but
is readily available when needed.  No mess no fuss.

In the December issue of "Car and Driver" magazine, there are several
reviews of cars, and the issue of cupholders comes up more often than one
would think.  In reviewing the $66,000 Porsche Boxster, the comment is made:
"Only the cup holders disappoint."  So, it's OK to talk about them in
regards to Panteras.  
Being that some of your cars are driven on the road, how do you handle the
"Yes, there are no cup holders in a Pantera" problem?  I've tried the
squeeze the container between my legs technique.  I've done the "screw-top"
type of plastic bottle.  I've even done the, "Honey, can you hold this for
me?" routine.  
Thanks, Bill
