    Cup holders

    I noticed tonight on the VX with it being a more high end car how come the things have no cup holders?

    Sorry Dude...dunno what a VR is...

    But...using the search function, located conveniently on the home page, I found no fewer than 63 results when I searched...

    Welcome aboard....

    Don't worry, most of the folks here aren't as blunt as I am, & I don't stop in as much as I used to...you just happened to get lucky...

    For a quick solution until you find a cupholder you'd like to install, just pull the leg bolster on the passenger seat forward and use the opening to hold your cup in place. Of course if you have a passenger along you won't be able to use that method ... but they can hold your cup for you.

    Personally I just use a 90 oz SuperMegaBigGulp cup I got at Sheetz. The bottom is wide enough that it sits on the floor next to my left foot without spilling ... usually.

    I fit most cups in that square opening behind the gear shift. Works very well for me.

    'Scuze me but we've already determined that is NOT a cup holder ... it's a cup launcher.

    I used a little bit of sugru to form a half moon on the bottom towards the front. It forces all cups to recline back just enough to prevent any falling.

    Wow, if anyone can use the little square "cup LAUNCHER" and not spill anything, they're obviously not DRIVING their VX, they're just operating it. I've become quite the professional at grabbing the drink and gripping the remote for the stereo between my thighs while still holding the road like a grade A race car driver

    Well I'll let you know when I pick it up from the dealer. I'll do some testing to see how well the cup stays wit my driving.

    Well, I only drink coffee while I am driving to work. I dont know if YOU have a "drinking problem" where you have to constantly be consuming opens cups of liquid while bouncing around. If I am off road and will require some form of hydration, its in a bottle tossed on the seat.

    If you drive on the road and constantly spill things....then you need to get your VX checked out or your epilepsy treated.
