Happened to have 2 pony-tail holders and 2 micro-fiber cloths around, and with those super-duper 997 cup holders - achieved success!

Epic FAIL ...

Years ago, my dad ordered some pizza from Little Ceasar's and asked me to pick them up (this was back when they gave you the double-wide pizza box with the two pizzas next to each other). I asked if I could take his 911 to get them. He said "sure".

I layed the box across the folded down rear seats and drove home. I'll be honest, I had some fun during my drive.

When I got home, I brought the box in and handed it to my dad. He puts it on the counter, opens it up and saw that instead of two pizzas laying next to each other, one was stacked on the other.

Needless to say, I was busted.

Although there are apparently better alternatives to your pony tail holders and micro clothe, I still commend you for the effort. I would have just been too lazy and avoid beverages or food. Also when I first opened the cup holders, I just shook my head and laughed.

The title of this thread should say Five Bucks run, no wait make that six bucks run. LOL Sorry I just hate Starbucks and their rediculous prices. I go to D&D and get a large one for $2 with spill free top. Amazing

Thanks guys, I WAS having a rotten day at work when I started reading this tread

As a certified coffee addicts (By the way, agree Starbucks is for pantsy, real men drinks Timmies ( Got to be Canadian to know).

Keep babies, nonscented wet-naps AND paper tissue in the cars. Wipe the liquid spill with paper tissue then go over with wetnaps to remove any stickyness. Works marvel on leather.
