The problem is the're thinking its not cool. What if you challenged them to add a cup holder that was engineered to be hidden, and fits in a very small space.
Saabs have been known to have some cool ones.

Bob -- I think he's right with the "no" on the cup holder.... for a couple of reasons -- the first one being - it's a manual trans - and drinking coffee in a moving car is hard enough.... with the stick it's almost impossible... and I do "spill" once in a while - and the square weave carpet is not the best for clean up... and it's really just not a hot rod item.... so I agreed with him (those weren't Steve's reasons - he just said NO)... because when I thought about it... it just doesn't work. I'm okay with that.

My alternate option I came up with was to do a Mooneyes tank in front of the grill shell - and run a line into the drivers side that I can suck on . I've talked to my dentist to source one of those "J" shaped ends like they hang in your mouth some times. I think the coffee running in a clear hose would look old skool like we used to use clear or red fuel lines. Mooneyes offers a tank with a pressure pump - so I could just add some pressure to the tank - add a check valve - and a brake bias valve - and viola! Got Coffee on tap!
