You're like a Boy Scout - always prepared.

As for me? I've got two 19-year-old vehicles. I have some pretty deep-seated issues with the GDMF cup holder situation. Oh yes I do, sir.



The cup holders (such as they are) of my Volvo V70 station wagon are attached to the lid of the small console compartment. In order to open the console, there can be no cups in the cup holders. Brilliant.

Now let's talk about the ash tray situation. The floor-mounted shifter must be in Drive in order to remove and empty the butt-bin. Who empties their ash tray while they're driving?

Hello?

Two cup holders slide out of the dash. The right one is directly in front of a dash vent so you better hope it's blowing hot or cold to match your drink. The other one makes it difficult to do things like turn the key.
There are two more on either side of the wide console. The one on the left is exactly where 99.9% of the drivers knee would be, but it's removable from it's VERTICAL slide mount. The other side is removable also, from it's HORIZONTAL slide mount, but at least useful.
