ok for those big gulps and things with a cap, the spot between the seat and the door behind you...sit down on the drivers seat, there is a small enough gap for me by my waist (left side) where when my seat is positioned (i'm 6'3") i can stick a big gulp there and no problems at all...i've tried other cup holders and it just blows...i've gotten mc donalds cups to stay there as well, doesn't really work with small drinks (btw snapple bottles work too).
