All Coffee Drinkers

This may be a stupid thread, but I really don't want to stain my interior.

I have a coffee travel mug from Starbucks and it doesn't fit in the cupholder. Has anybody else come across this life-altering problem? Anyone have a solution?

Got_da_booze · 12-30-2010, 02:44 PM

Buy a different coffee mug?

onefastman · 12-30-2010, 02:45 PM

LOL

angasreid · 12-30-2010, 02:52 PM

haha I figured I get a few of those responses. Let me know if you find a coffee mug that will fit in there.

Duct tape is your friend and never deceive.

I lay towels on both seats with black interior, i feel for you if you have beige or grey.

Bought a whole bunch of awesome mugs from Costco a few years back with tapered bottoms.

Yeah if you have tan it'll just blend in if it spills. I have tan and I let mine spill all the time.

What is funny is the "people who bought this item also bought" portion of the Amazon site showing:

A book: Choosing to SEE: A Journey of Struggle and Hope by Mary Beth

Seems relevant, journey, struggle and hope - the journey in your car, the struggle to find a cup and the hope that it won't tip

Clothing item:Intimo Men's Classic Silk Pant by Intimo

Something to change into once you've spilled the drink

Another book: Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher, No. 11) by Lee Child

Do I really need to explain this?

Finally another book: AM/PM Yoga For Beginners (with The Dalai Lama & 10 + Routines)

Relax your way into not worrying about the spilt milk.

No, having a wreck is nothing like drinking coffee.

ceb · 12-30-2010, 04:14 PM

On a more serious note. I feel the OPs pain.

Here is what I would do:

Find a cup with a well fitting lid that closes completely. Make sure it fits properly and close the lid when you're not drinking from it.

Tee212 · 12-30-2010, 04:15 PM

I cant stop pooping, just dont eat

masamune · 12-30-2010, 04:16 PM

Even if it did fit the awful cupholder will probably flip the cup out when you take a turn even remotely fast. I would be more worried about that.

ENINTY · 12-30-2010, 04:17 PM

Any of the BMW mugs work perfectly.

Forcefed3 · 12-30-2010, 04:19 PM

Just get a different cup.

electro-house · 12-30-2010, 04:22 PM

Get 5 hour energy instead.

angasreid · 12-30-2010, 04:25 PM

When in doubt, buy a new mug I suppose.
