Default Don't laugh at my Cupholder.

I always carry a towel in my backseat - handly for cleaning spills, fresh birdsh@$, wrapping golf clubs, etc. Occasionally I also like to grab a drink while on the go but find it difficult, dangerous, and intrusive while working the gears in my 993.

So here's my solution I've been using for quite a while - laugh along if will but this damn thing does a great job!!! This morning I looked at it and figured I'd share it with you guys for a morning laugh. Hey - it's quick, cheap, and easy to de-install!

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with any towel company.

I thought my car was the only one with that rare towel cup-holder option.

A roll of duct tape works well, too.

Sweet! How hard would this be to DIY? Perhaps you would be able to post the instructions?

Nice towel-mod.

That reminds me of another positive thing about drinking "Diet" soda in addition to it not having any calories... If it accidentally spills, it wont get your car sticky. No sugar.

Nice, but the contents would not survive the first curve in my case....

I'm sorry, and it's not the towel but I always laugh when I see a cupholder in a sportscar...
