Default cup holder mod

i'm putting this here cus there is no interior section

i got tired of my cup holder boot thingy hitch-hiking a ride with me whenever i took my drink along, so i finally fixed it. with my handy glue gun i made some blobs around the edge and a big one in the middle. hopefully next time i use it the thing will stay in place. i'll let you know if it actually worked.

But sometimes a bottle or cup doesn't fit with the rubber boot and you need to take it out to use the cup holder :P

there is a thread on here somewhere, i think it is the one about "things you hate about your car", and a lot of people have had the same problem and i'm pretty sure someone even threw one out while it was attached to a cup without realizing it.

i only have one of them in my car, which is fine, because when i need it i use it in the cupholder that is closest to the armrest/center console, and when i don't need it (which is most of the time), i put it in the one in front of the shifter **** and put my keys in it. since that cupholder is ever only used for change, it covers up the change so no one will be tempted to break in and steal the whopping (probably) $.36 in there, ha.

I like that they are removable because they get dusty and it's easier to clean them out when they are out of the car.
