  • Cup Holder Fiasco

    how many other camaro owners HATE the fact that they'res ONE cup holder and it doesnt even hold any kind of 20oz bottle besides dr. pepper right!?!? :mad:

    Our Camaro and Firebird each have four cupholders. The one in the center console behind the shifter, the one that flips out, and the two for the back seats.

      I have a 95 too, only one cup holder that I know of.
      Yeah, it's freakin irritating that nothing even fits in the stupid thing. I end up holding it the whole time while I drive cause it doesn't fit in the holder. Even if my soda were to fit, it's in the most awkward position so I'm still more comfortable holding the thing.

        Shoot.. This is silly but.. what the heck..

        I am a big fan of "natures" (betwwen the legs) cup holder..
        for the most part its due to my old 924S porsche.. it was a sweet ride.. but.. it dident have cup holders... period... hell i dont think porsche "invented" cup holders untill like the late 90's..

        anyway.. back to what i wanted to say.. its a camaro.. deal with it..

        I love when people whine about "the ride quality" and the "squeek that comes from &lt;insert place here&gt;".. i meen.. I hope you knew going into buyin' the car, that its no "bemmer" or "benz"..

        Gota comprimize for the cool factor fella's

        BTW i think they added 3 cup holders when the "re-vampd" the interior in 97..

        Later,
        Bill

          I don't use mine for a cup holder. Mines a change holder, cell phone holder, trash holeder and a remote holder. I always keep my drinks between my legs in the seat, not unless it's a Route 44 from Sonic, they are too tall and rub the steering wheel, makes it hard to take turns.

                    Chill man, I know what ur talkin about. Twas just playin wit ya( hence dancing Fluffy with smileys ;) )

                    My previous car had NO cupholders, whatsoever!! Guess you're just gonna have to go aftermarket!!I've seen the "big ones" where there are slight curves on the bottom meant for the humps of the driveshaft. It can hold 2 drinks with a square tray. I think they are for cars with front bench seats and column shifters, but it should be able to fit behind the console.

                    Of course you can always slide that 'Peppa/20 oz'er between the seat and door. Or do what my friend does with his "other" car, put it in the center console :D ;)

                    Go to an automotive parts store and check out what kind of stuff they carry for cupholders. I've seen one that you can lay down on the seat like a booster.

                      No, 95's have TWO cupholders. The other is diguised. It is the front of the passenger side door pocket. You can see how the pocket bows out towards the hood, but not on the driver's side. It will fit a can or 20oz. When I had my 95 I was soo pissed that they didn't have one in the drivers side pocket because I had to keep pops in the middle console and I hate that cuz I rest my arm there and my hand on the T-handle of my auto.

                        Acutally we have five. Look on the passenger door behind the speaker if you have the monsoon system with the components in the door.

                          my 91 had no cup holders at all. I went to walmart and they had a cup holer that slid in between the seat and the center console. it had 2 spots for cups and in the middle was a square that you could put remotes, change, cigs, etc. It was the best 4 dollars I ever spent.

                              Cool, thanks. The Firebird has the Monsoon system, but I never noticed that the passenger side was different than the driver side.
