Wife drinks coffee in the car

I haven't read through the thread...but I will say that I disagree with you.
Regardless of whether you're paying the bills or her, the property belongs to both of you (why else did you get married?).
If it's her ride, then she has the right to do with it as she pleases.

most likely. Do Gaymans have Cupholders? I know 911s didnt get em till our bodystyle and personally, i liked not having cupholders. Was an excuse to tell people they couldnt bring a drink in the old 964. Now with the 997 i cant...but if i am quiet about it, nobody ever finds them!

Depends on the transmission
If the car is a tiptronic, then no big deal. On my Carrera S, I try not to get drinks since a six speed is hard to shift gears while holding on to a hot drink. This is when I use my Range Rover.

i only drink water bottles/gatorade/vitamin water in the turbo and its a 6spd. If it has a top that can create a positive seal im ok with it, but starbucks coffee cups are a no no, even in my LX470!

As some of you know I just got a 2006 997S and gave my wife my 2007 Cayman S. I found out today that she has been going to Starbuck's every morning and driving to work with a huge cup full of coffee and milk. I told her before I gave her the car that there were no drinks allowed. We got in a huge fight and I told her that I'll trade the car in on a Civic if she doesn't stop getting coffee every morning. She's really angry and refuses to give in. Am I in the wrong here? It's my car and I pay all the bills. Do you guys think it's reasonable to ask that she not drink coffee in the car?
arguing with your wife now is hopeless. you needed to establish your "priority"...
though my wife does use cars to her benefit. "if you dont do that.... i'll park my car next to yours.... if you dont do this, you can't wash your car...."
but you did say you gave her the car. then it's her car, why do you care. i dont care about my wife's car. she eats in it and drive over curbs, hits things, get scratched and lots of ding and dents. but it's her car...i really couldn't care less. but if my car gets dented.... WWIII would be imminent.
