Okay, everybody! I think I can finally find a<br>subject that almost everyone on The Forum can<br>agree on: RESOLVED - Far too much journalistic<br>and engineering talent(?) has been wasted on<br>CUPHOLDERS. The pocket protector crowd at<br>Consumer Reports and the minivan interior<br>gurus deep within the bowels of the Chrysler<br>Corp. have convinced Middle America that the<br>value of a vehicle is directly proportionate<br>to the number of, and adjustability of, its<br>CUPHOLDERS! So, I propose that at 10:00 P.M.<br>EST on Feb.29,1999, all like - minded DRIVING<br>enthusiasts join me on the beach at Jacksonville,<br>Fla. to offer up as many cupholders as we can<br>to the Spirits of our driving forefathers!

I just installed a custom cupholder in the center console bin, and don't use the pop ups any more.<p>Christian J. Long

In the spirit of not using the pop-up cup holders, does anyone know the part number of the storage compartment that replaced the pop-up holders on the 99's? I would rather have a functional storage compartment then the useless things that are wasting space.<p>-Trevor<br>

You can have my a4 cup holders because they are worthless. German engineering at its best.
