Until you stop by a drive thru and the guy doesn't snap the lid on your coke properly and the lid pops off and soda all over the place. Haha

Ok, so hold the cream and sugar and nothing to worry about. Haha

Honestly, it's been a while since I had a big spill all over the center console but yep I've done it. Lol

Reminds me of my old Lincoln Town car, never knew what half the buttons did. Lol 🛸

I always check to make sure due to that risk, and honestly I only drink water or hard stuff, just never really started drinking soda etc lol!

I make sure the lid is on so that doesn’t happen, and I don’t hold drinks by the lid.

Just requires some care.

You haven’t lived life if you haven’t at least done some spillage - whether it’s vomit, coke, tomato sauce in a hotdog , etc - yours or someone else’s .

Oh I've spilled stuff, about 2000 9mm cases of which 350 ended up in my rear vent system. Had to pull nearly my whole interior out to get them....







In hindsight I didn't REALLY have to crush that C6 on backroads but he cut me off so I felt obligated to educate him. I paid for it though with having to hunt the damn brass....

It's just as distracting as a screen. With all those identical buttons, there's no way to be able to press the button you want without looking down away from the road.

This is the key, the goal is to be able to manipulate controls without having to look away from the road or in the least not to have to devote a lot of mental focus to manipulating the controls. Poor design is poor design, physical buttons or not.

Totally utterly wrong. You can easily physically index exactly where you hand/fingers are and hit the button without even looking. I can use the center stack in my D4s to adjust anything I want off pure touch and knowing the menu layouts or what button does what.....at 90 through curves.

You can never do that with screens
