Took 21 years....

21 years and 287000 miles and the drivers side cup holder in my 1992 Trans Am finally broke. I kicked it accidentally when getting back in the car the other day.

At least you have, I mean had, a cup holder. My cup holder is my 2 legs.

I have cup holder envy.

Yep, standard on every 90-92 Firebird. And I'd say that about 20% of them still have them.

You didn't get them because you got the cheaper car

I still have both of mine. but there are USELESS lol. they are in a bad spot and too big width wise. so things tend to flop around. needless to say a cup of coffee is not a good idea lol

Re: Took 21 years....

Mine broke from me kicking it also after 20 years of being in service. i repaired it once and i did it again.. so i just gave up.

Time for the 4th gen console swap to give me cup holders again.

Re: Took 21 years....

Cup holders?? RULE number 1, NO food, drink or smokes in the car. So why do you need a cup holder?

Virginia + 96 degrees + heat index 105 degrees + air conditioner not working + daily driver = sucking down liquids like a dehydrated camel at the oases.

Re: Took 21 years....

I also have rules about what is allowed in my DD and it has to have a replaceable cap. No open containers. No cup holders here but I have figured out one or two ways to keep my Gatorade bottle from rolling around.
