Default Where do you put a Big Gulp?

I know this applies to other drinks as well, but where do you put a Big Gulp when you're driving alone? It doesn't fit in the center cup holder and certainly doesn't fit in the weak-*** dash cup holder. For now I use the arm rest storage but there's crap in there already. So where do I put it so that it doesn't spill? What if I have TWO?!?

Talking Big Guuulp

I've asked myself that same question each time I thought about supersizing at the drive thru. I just don't! But I have had a large drink between my hip and the belt buckle. It stays put...sometimes.

u get one of those cheapo cardboard trays from 7-11 and balance the beverage with a chili-dog on the other side. Either that or get one of those hats with the huge drink-holders on either side, either way the ladies will be impressed.

Trick I learned froma nice guy at the Wendy's drive thru:

Put a small empty cup in the cup holder (one that will fit) ....

Then put the big cup inside the little cup.

and there you go !

Default Seatbelt

I actually put a seatbelt around the big gulp like a passenger.
Works out pretty good as long as you don't corner like you're a rally car.

The BIGGER question is...

People will be wondering why those who DRINK big gulps...are trying to figure out why Lexus didn't accomdate them? I don't think their market was for big gulp drinkers in the first place.

The wannabe grey poupon crowd would probably be it.

Delimma's like this just reinforce my "on Tap" theory.

right where the temprature sensor is in the dash there should be a small shot glass and a tap.

more than just one problem solved.

What I do when my drink won't fit the middle cup holder is that I pull off the middle cup holder by yanking on the lid and I use that hole to put my drink in. Works well...

There's this mexican restaurant that sells a large horchata (cinnamon milk drink) in a wide cup. I love that stuff but it's always a pain to take it to go.

I keep change so quarters and dimes would fly all over my car.

If you're a real stud, you just hold it with your *****!
Not recommeded with especially cold drinks as the results are less than flattering.

If I supersize at McDonalds (haven't in months) I put the drink in the passenger seat and drive like an old maid. In between shifting I try to keep one hand it. Usually I'll have a shake, so if it does fall, I don't have to pick it up right away.

See Lexus is trying to help you with your health..you really shouldn't drink that much soda at one sitting.

Otherwise the cup holders would be larger in circumference.
