Well, here is something random that popped into my head.
Last summer I was cruising in the M10 and headed to play some Wii with my nephew. I wound up taking my Mother back home when we all left and my sister had picked up Sonic tea for everyone.
Mind you, I have water bottles or the big 32 oz. sweet teas in the car with me quite a bit...I'm so used to positioning things in a center console in an old Mopar that having the cup holders in the M10 took some getting used to. Never had any trouble with anything either.
Well, add in a passenger and a 2nd 32 oz cup and you've got the potential for disaster.
What happens is...
The T-Handle is a bit stronger than styrofoam. As I snaked down into D from Reverse for getting off the driveway, the inevitable happened. T-Handle meet large, full cup of tea.
Ounces of tea came cascading out of the cup...mainly into the cup holder mind you, but that initial burst sent it onto the shifter selector plate. Naturally, I had an assortment of towels handy and it mopped up really without any residue...It did stick a little bit in the portions you don't see until you are in "X" gear etc, which is unfortunate and made me wish I has popped for the Billet Tech pieces when I planned to...I held off trying to pick between Black and Blue, lol.
But, I was just curious if anyone else learned this the hard way. It is something you don't really think of since both cups fit just fine in the holders. And if I can keep anyone else from picking up their gf and then frantically having to run in for napkins/paper towels I have done well here, lol.
I kind of think that front "change holder" area could be lost in favor of getting the shifter up just a tad and then of course expanding the center console a bit, hindsight is 20/20 though
