Beware: Cup holder can cause accidents...
A couple weeks ago, I was driving home from McDonald's with a fountain drink in the cup holder. As I made a sharp right turn into the street, the drink tipped out of the cup holder and I grabbed it fast, but not before I finished the turn...I almost crashed into the curb! Luckily I turned the wheel in time to barely avoid hurting my roadster, but it was pretty embarrassing!
So, for all those with 2003 SC430s, the cupholder is not as secure as it seems.

Even my wife's learned that, when we're in the car together, it's my job to drive, and her job to hold any drinks that might be in the cupholder!

Learned long time ago they're only good for "short" drinks(cup).
I had one flew onto the passenger's side mat years ago, luckily there was a lid and not much was spilled ...

japanese car = japanese engineers
japanese engineers = japanese people
japanese people = smaller people
smaller people = smaller drinks
smaller drinks = smaller cup holders
it's all a matter of math

Easy Mod: I use a travel mug for coffee every morning, so I cut a quarter size piece of industrial strength Velcro for the bottom of the mug as well as the closest of the two cup holders. Works great never a spill.

That would be a bit embarrassing to explain what caused the accident to police and insurance, but at least I'd make them laugh.
"Well I was heading into the turn and noticed that my tastey beverage began to list, it was then that I realized that my car's carpet was extremely parched and had my drink in mind. Because I absolutely could not allow that, I crashed my car to teach it a lesson"
