Hell I've done it half a dozen times. Even got the GF once. The cup holders need to be much deeper. The car really over powers the cup holders ability.

sorta kinda off topic but i had an 07 cobalt sedan rental in florida and i noticed that it had a rubber thing in its cupholder so i took it thinking it would solve the flying drink problem and it wont fit in the copholder of my car (an 06). What is up with that?

LOL. That's what I "usually" do. But anyone with sportlines, strut bar, and swaybar will know; there's nothing sweeter than gripping the wheel with two hands and gunning it on an on-ramp to a highway.

Yep, happened like my third day with the car. Gotta take my big coffee to work in the morning + this car just corners so sweet = scrubbing the carpet again!

Until I glued some rubber from a bicycle tube around the side of the C/H. Doesn't help much with regular cups but if you have a travel mug with fairly straight sides it works pretty good. Just keep the lid closed or coffee will still spray out the hole!

my only car accident was caused by my large ice coffee going onto the passenger seat floor and me going after it as i was turning. when i stopped i was in the engine bay of an old lady's ford taurus (this was back in '01), so pretty much every time i turn, i hold whatever drink i have.... though i did manage to have another coffee topple over below my legs one night, but i also took a hard right hand turn. top stayed on, thankfully.
