Yeah, took me a few months before I found it. I cant stand not being able to shift. the only thing that bugs me is when I leave it open with no drink in it, it shakes and buzzes like crazy when I punch the gas.

Did you know that if you have your cruise control on and you press the accel. button momentarily, it increases speed by one mph for each time you press it. Works the same for the set/decel. button.

i.e. 5 times on accel will make you go 5mph faster, 10 times is 10mph faster. (or slower)

haha yeah i knew that because all cruise control operates that way....

If you put a piece of foil in your mouth & drive due south at 55mph you will pick up the nearest radio station through the fillings in your teeth.....but only AM

Yeah, I do find it annoying that the center console cup holder is really only usable when you're cruising in 6th on the highway. It's also a fairly small cup holder that doesn't fare well with the "big gulps" from 7-11.

I use the cup holder you found to hold my scanner so I can listen to johnny law.

That is too funny, two days ago the same exact thing happened to me.
I was detailing the interior for the first time, and I'm like what the hell is this lil lip stickin out here, I pull on it and out pops a cup holder I'm like holy shit, I had no idea.

But this was down beneath the radio and HAC controls on the right or passenger side.

Is this the one your talking about?

It took me a month to figure out I had an ashtray in my grand prix

My Camaro does Not have a cup holder, it is a drag for the morning commute.

**{FzS}BlacKMagicK** · 05-25-2007, 08:30 PM

Now, should I reveal my secret holder to any chic lucky enough to have her ass grace my passenger seat? or should I just make her hold it?

If she's a Ho, I'll not reveal it, if she's aiight, I will reveal unto her the secret knowledge.

Cup holder cherry...lol, I'll never forget that moment.

**derrinx** · 05-25-2007, 09:28 PM
