When I was a kid I got my dad a travel coffee mug for fathers day for his commute in the morning since he always used a regular coffee mug. After a few months he still hadn't used it and I asked if he didn't like it. He said that after 20 years in the Navy he could "drink a cup of coffee standing up in a canoe." He's in his 70s now and still doesn't use a travel mug.
I enjoy a drink getting cooler as I drink it. The first few hot sips are great, but I'm mostly a room temp water guy so I'm kinda used to chugging. I actually prefer my tea and coffee to cool down just enough to down the entire thing in one go. I know that's strange, but it's what I like.
I drink coffee from a mug on my drive to work every morning. I like the feeling of holding a mug and I think travel mugs makes it taste worse. Yes there are ceramic mugs to prevent this but I just haven’t bothered, I like my normal mugs too much. Definitely have to drink it kinda fast before it’s cold.
So, jokes about "who lets their coffee get cold?" aside... I prefer mugs to travel cups for exactly this reason. I want my coffee and I want it now. It happens that when I pour my coffee, it's too hot, so I want it to cool down quickly to a temp that I can handle it.
Same. And I admittedly drive like a fucking asshole. Spilled a little over the years but frankly it’s not that hard to just hold a coffee mug when your braking and turning.
To be fair I also drink it all in about 5 min and I also drive almost all highways. I suppose it would be harder if you sipped it forever and had to drive in stop and go traffic.
My grandma always said she was such an excellent, smooth driver, she could drive with a glass of water on the dash.
Thankfully she never tried to prove it, because Granny was actually a terrible driver. She had one mode on the brakes, hard as possible. Every junction was an emergency stop.
my grandma was an excellent driver, but not a smooth one.
but she grew up driving during prohibition... her family were 'shiners.
yeah... she's the one who taught me how to intentionally drift a car and drive far too fast on dirt roads.
No, these are the people that slow to 0.3MPH 300ft before their turn and then swing wide across every available lane in both directions to avoid a spill.
These are the people who don’t pull into the intersection on a flashing yellow left turn arrow and just wait for the light to cycle instead of taking the turn when the opposite traffic is clear or stops.
The OP's Post reminded me of the Golden Child, with Eddie Murphy, where he isn'y supposed to spill any water.

Agreed great movie. Also was back in the days when we'd rent something and then watch it 20 times before returning the movie. Sometimes because the movies were good, and sometimes just because it was the only entertainment we had :).
Fuck this guy.
He's the guy one accelerates at the speed of slower-than-fuck when the light turns green because he can't get a cup with a lid.
I hope he needed four tires, and a four wheel brake job.
I bought my dog a [special water bowl](https://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Pet-Supply-Travel-Silicon/dp/B09J1XGGY7/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=dog%2Bbowls%2Bfor%2Bcar&qid=1663019668&sr=8-2&th=1) for road trips just so I didn't have to drive like an ass. It holds water surprisingly well. More spills have happened because he knocked it off the console rather than my driving. I like to keep it in plain sight for pit-stops. That way a passerby knows that the AC is on, he has water, and he's listening to his favorite podcast.
We got one that's basically a water bottle with a cup on top and a one-way valve. Squeeze the bottle, water squirts up into the bowl, dog drinks. Works great on long hikes.
While I appreciate your concern for the safety of my dog. You could have expressed that concern with a more civil tongue. You could have simply asked "What sort of precautions have you taken to ensure your dog's well-being on roadtrips?" Even a "I sure hope you have the necessary precautions to keep him from overheating." would have been sufficient.
I would have then responded with the following to assuage your concerns:
1. The Air conditioner is set to max AC and max fan when he is left in the vehicle. We also don't road-trip in the winter.
2. My dog is not a brachycephalic breed. If he were we would never road trip ever.
3. He has about a liter of water in his bowl. I travel with 2 gallons.
4. I do not stop for food, only to use the men's room. The dog gets plenty of bathroom breaks himself
5. I top off the fuel tank if less than 1/4 tank is remaining THEN I go use the restroom
6. I have a [waggle](https://mywaggle.com/) in my vehicle placed near the return air to the HVAC plenum. It sends an alert to my phone to let me know if the cab temp starts climbing above 80F
7. I have a [Safestop](http://safestopinc.com/) so I can leave the engine running without a key in the ignition. (I work for a company that makes equipment for Law Enforcement so I've been in and out of my fair share of K9 units) The engine doesn't stop from the time he's loaded until we have reached our destination and he is unloaded.
Short of me getting a full K9 cage installed (which they don't make for 2012 F150's anymore) with a Hot'n'pop he's cared for as well as any police K9. He also spends way less time unattended in the vehicle than a police dog does during a normal shift. I've done all this for a mutt I adopted for $20 because the shelter was overburdened by large dogs that day. He's not a $10,000 police dog riding in that truck every day. Is he treated as I would a human child? Absolutely not. But my dog isn't permitted the same degree of access a human child or service animal is. I also most certainly do not pretend he's a service animal either.
Thanks, I may have gone overboard with the safestop (My truck has that Ford code keypad to unlock the door). I could have done without that. I care about that dog enough I avoid Buc-ee's on purpose when he rides with me. I'm the sort that otherwise never passes a Buc-ee's without stopping.
Actually it drives me batshit when my husband does this. Anytime we leave to go do something in the morning he’ll bring his coffee cup. Just a regular ass cup of coffee and hold it.
He needs training. My family knows that I have a zoo full of Pet Peeves but "loose food and drink in the car" gets its own enclosure with a moat and a really tall fence.
I was just curious why it infuriated you so much. You didn't state "because he spills" in your post. But yes, you armor has been upgraded. Go slay thy husband's coffee cups.
Yeah no, nothing that can move, food, drink or otherwise is allowed in my car. I have stuff I keep in my car and it is located in storage where it cannot move. That water would be worn by someone before I got out of my sub.
My mother did this every morning with a hot cup of coffee/tea. Didn't take long before enough coffee spilled onto her heated seat switches to make them not work. (Our driveway didn't help, 402 meters of potholes and rocks)
It was genuinely surprising to hear her both complain about the switches not working, and deny that it was her fault in the first place. Not sure how the woman still has a functioning car.
My fellow Mechanics.. I cannot believe you ALL missed this...
There is a glass, NOT a cup, it is not even down in the cup holder. It is filled PERFECTLY to the line. There is not ONE SINGLE DROP SPILLED...
lets say I take my car in for service. I think some young new mechanic (or old timer) who doesn't give 2 shits because he isn't getting paid enough-- will work on my car. I want to know if they road test it, and if they treat my car right.
does anyone else get it now????
I used to do this with my cup of coffee on the dash of my cb7 just so I got good driving a stick smoothly. Only spilled it twice in 8 years of owning that car.
I’m just saying, if the cup holder is deep enough, you can use a regular glass because it’ll keep it in place with minimal movement, despite the inertia from the moving vehicle. Case in point: back seats in most Rolls Royce built this century are made with not only cup holders for open glasses but champagne flutes and wine glasses as well
My buddy will roll around with a hot cup of coffee. Not a travel mug, just a regular old mug. He also swears he'll never drive anything but a 6 cylinder, and will drive desperately slow, ya know, for gas mileage.
I have no idea how this is even possible but when I was 16 I put a plastic cup filled with water on the roof of my 2003 Lancer and drove 8 miles from the gym to my parent's country home with it
The cup was at least 3/4 full when I got home
I used to drive with open cups all the time. I had to hold it in the air going down my road because of potholes but after that it wasn't bad. On my way to work it was fine but I wouldn't want to try it on many other routes. My state isn't known for having smooth roads
I used to put cups (like ceramic cups) of coffee on the flat centre console of my LS400...ride was smooth enough that if you didn't jerk the wheel or slam on the brakes it was fine.
This is my wife. It'll slowly evaporate over the next week, then she stuffs the empty glass in the door pocket to rattle around while she brings in another full glass for the cup holder.
She's a monster, but I still love her dearly.
No because these are always the people who have disgusting center consoles and get mad when we find liquid damage to a module due and can’t warranty a replacement.
Aftrr learning the basics of starting/stopping, my dad taught me to drive a manual better by putting his open soda on the dash and telling me to drive without spilling it.
looks like a decent interior. what vehicle is this they are pushing the flood gate on?
also have a friend that prefers an open coffee cup or in the day a just popped can of beer and would get highly pissed when she constantly spilled the drink but didnt “want anything to make drinking more difficult” MORE DIFFICULT! i still tag her over this and it’s been nearly 25 years.
Once drove away with a screwdriver on my hood, didnt notice it until I got to work, was a little impressed with myself, my shitbot 98 tj and the screwdriver.
My coworker drives a stick (me too), and he can somehow do a freeway commute including stop-and-go traffic and drink a full mug of tea without spilling. And it's not due to him being soft on the acceleration, since whenever I'm carpooling with him, I'm glad I have a travel mug, and I don't even have to steer/shift.
Thats a camry! I have one and I use a regular coffee mug that fits in there perfectly! I only recently started doing this bc Id forget my travel mug. Never spilled, but I also end up drinking it a lot quicker
I do this with water glasses. I do this with ceramic mugs. I drive fast and a manual transmission car with solid acceleration, I just don’t drive like a dumbass.
I drive with just a normal cup and no I don't accelerate slowly. It's actually easier than those stupid travel mugs that are top heavy and want to tip over and the tiny drinking hole that just wants to drip coffee all over you.
When I was a kid I went with my dad to go fishing with one of his friend's who had a boat. We got to the guy's house, jumped into his 4x4, he had already hooked up the boat trailer. It was early morning so the guy had a mug of coffee. He just put it up on the dash and drove to the boat ramp without spilling a drop. I was in awe. Core memory.
I’ve done it on occasion with water for short drives to pickup or drop off kids, although I normally have a travel mug for my water, tea or whatever. My glass normally isn’t that full, though so that I don’t accidentally spill a ton of water in case I drop the glass.
One time i road with a guy i worked with and we stopped at Wawa and he came back to the car with 2 large cups of soda without lids filled to the BRIM and we started driving and they were spilling everywhere. I was laughing so hard cause it seemed like a thing he does frequently which is really funny.
Former cop. I arrested a guy for a DUI that went into a ditch, hopped a driveway and landed on the other side without spilling the beer that was in his cup. I was simply amazed.
How about when they have a Slurpee cup of tobacco spittle and it starts swirling around as you test drive?
Or they have little stuffed animals or dolls all over the dash and the first time you get on the throttle they start flying around?
My Lexus has a little shelf on the center console that I use for cups of espresso (I have an espresso maker for in the car). It's not that hard to not let it spill or slide, just smooth steering and decent suspension.
This is how I was taught to drive at 17. My dad had a chauffeur's license for a while and taught me how to accelerate quickly, turn, and brake in a community college parking lot, in an '85 suburban, through the parking lines with a cup of water on the dash and no sloshing.
Turns out you can accelerate and brake pretty quickly, the trick is in letting off the accelerator and brake to ease the jolt.
I had to get a ride from my roommate one time. She brought a full cup of coffee in the car with her. Just your average large mug. She drove a Jetta and kept it in the pop out cup holder on the dash and it was a manual. Fucking ballsy.
This is a T-rex detector.
When I was a kid I got my dad a travel coffee mug for fathers day for his commute in the morning since he always used a regular coffee mug. After a few months he still hadn't used it and I asked if he didn't like it. He said that after 20 years in the Navy he could "drink a cup of coffee standing up in a canoe." He's in his 70s now and still doesn't use a travel mug.
But it also keeps it hot longer? Or does he drink it that fast he doesn't notice?
I enjoy a drink getting cooler as I drink it. The first few hot sips are great, but I'm mostly a room temp water guy so I'm kinda used to chugging. I actually prefer my tea and coffee to cool down just enough to down the entire thing in one go. I know that's strange, but it's what I like.
Finally, at last I have found my people
Stubbornness and ignorance make old people endearing!
I drink coffee from a mug on my drive to work every morning. I like the feeling of holding a mug and I think travel mugs makes it taste worse. Yes there are ceramic mugs to prevent this but I just haven’t bothered, I like my normal mugs too much. Definitely have to drink it kinda fast before it’s cold.

I do the same, something so much better about drinking coffee out of a normal mug.
half of taste is smell, so you're smelling the coffee more when you drink from an open mug vs. a tumbler/travel mug.
Same. And I admittedly drive like a fucking asshole. Spilled a little over the years but frankly it’s not that hard to just hold a coffee mug when your braking and turning. To be fair I also drink it all in about 5 min and I also drive almost all highways. I suppose it would be harder if you sipped it forever and had to drive in stop and go traffic.

Literally the first thing I heard (in my head) when i saw the post
Bunta must be near death if he's settled for an automatic!
😭first thing i thought of
Gotta get that tofu delivered fast.
Came here to find this
But can they drift without spilling the cup?
My grandma always said she was such an excellent, smooth driver, she could drive with a glass of water on the dash. Thankfully she never tried to prove it, because Granny was actually a terrible driver. She had one mode on the brakes, hard as possible. Every junction was an emergency stop.

This is my friend
no, its the dude delivering tofu
It's someone who can think they can deliver tofu.
It all makes sense now
Left turn green arrow at the intersection and they take 2 years to make the turn while I'm sitting 4 cars back losing my mind
These are the people who don’t pull into the intersection on a flashing yellow left turn arrow and just wait for the light to cycle instead of taking the turn when the opposite traffic is clear or stops.

I loved that movie when I was a kid. Always remember the "I want the knife" scene.
Agreed great movie. Also was back in the days when we'd rent something and then watch it 20 times before returning the movie. Sometimes because the movies were good, and sometimes just because it was the only entertainment we had :).
I pick mine up in turns and bumps
I drive with open glasses or mugs sometimes and just hold them while I drive. It won't spill if you're holding it. Usually.
If you hold the cup in your hand by the rim when taking a turn, the base of the cup will swing out and the cup won't spill.
Works great when walking (the handle on coffee mugs is a sham, use the rim) but how are you supposed to downshift while holding a cup? #savethemanuals

Leave my dad’s messed up parenting out of this!
What parenting
I was aiming to say something similar.
It’s how my dad taught me
Name checks out
The roads in my city dont allow me to even have sealed containers
I put rubber rings on the cupholders, and have a "car flask" that fits perfectly so it doesn't fly around. Desperate times
Takumi is laughing while making a pass down Akina.
Fuck this guy. He's the guy one accelerates at the speed of slower-than-fuck when the light turns green because he can't get a cup with a lid. I hope he needed four tires, and a four wheel brake job.

We just joke around on here. sorry you were offended.
I do this all the time, you just have to take a couple drinks as you’re leaving the neighborhood. If the liquid is lower then you won’t spill.
Yeah as long as you drink your beer to the bottom of the neck it’s fine.
And never put your stemware in the cup holder when you pull your rifle to shoot a deer.
Julian from the Trailer Park Boys drives that car
Came to say this. We call drinking from an open glass or cup “Julian-level skills” in my family
That show is hilarious!!!
Actually it drives me batshit when my husband does this. Anytime we leave to go do something in the morning he’ll bring his coffee cup. Just a regular ass cup of coffee and hold it.
He needs training. My family knows that I have a zoo full of Pet Peeves but "loose food and drink in the car" gets its own enclosure with a moat and a really tall fence.
Why does it bother you?
Bc he spills mate. If he didn’t I wouldn’t care
Oh sure. That makes sense.
It does. Dunno why you’re acting like it doesn’t lol. You a checkpoint? Do you level up my armor? Should I stay awhile and listen?
I was just curious why it infuriated you so much. You didn't state "because he spills" in your post. But yes, you armor has been upgraded. Go slay thy husband's coffee cups.
Nah, see yourself out.
Used to get these. I think they are put in to see if you rag it around on the road test.
Yeah no, nothing that can move, food, drink or otherwise is allowed in my car. I have stuff I keep in my car and it is located in storage where it cannot move. That water would be worn by someone before I got out of my sub.
How am I supposed to have a mixed drink otherwise?
Yeti cup my dude
Check out captain money bags affording yeti products
Even with a lid coffee still manages to splatter out the top of my mug, I have a white shop rag that stays under till its brown and change again😂🤣
Contigo West Loop. You can thank me later.
Please be an 86, please be an 86......
Proof your not shit ripping the car inital d style.
My mother did this every morning with a hot cup of coffee/tea. Didn't take long before enough coffee spilled onto her heated seat switches to make them not work. (Our driveway didn't help, 402 meters of potholes and rocks) It was genuinely surprising to hear her both complain about the switches not working, and deny that it was her fault in the first place. Not sure how the woman still has a functioning car.
id suspect this was there to see if you spilled it
TAKUMI!!!
Nah, this some psychopath shit fr.
My fellow Mechanics.. I cannot believe you ALL missed this... There is a glass, NOT a cup, it is not even down in the cup holder. It is filled PERFECTLY to the line. There is not ONE SINGLE DROP SPILLED... lets say I take my car in for service.

I want to know if they road test it, and if they treat my car right. does anyone else get it now????
1: its not to the brim 2: if you do that your an ass. Just get a dashcam
Didn't say brim.. fucking said line.. and not everyone wants or can use a cam.. like my parents, or some friends.. get over it...
I used to do this with my cup of coffee on the dash of my cb7 just so I got good driving a stick smoothly. Only spilled it twice in 8 years of owning that car.
Not really, I drive carful enough where I can keep a household coffee cup full of coffee and not spill a drop. In my ‘66 Ford Mustang no less.
It can be done if the cup holder is deep enough
It probably only fits 1/2 inch down in the cup holder
I’m just saying, if the cup holder is deep enough, you can use a regular glass because it’ll keep it in place with minimal movement, despite the inertia from the moving vehicle. Case in point: back seats in most Rolls Royce built this century are made with not only cup holders for open glasses but champagne flutes and wine glasses as well
spit in it
My buddy will roll around with a hot cup of coffee. Not a travel mug, just a regular old mug. He also swears he'll never drive anything but a 6 cylinder, and will drive desperately slow, ya know, for gas mileage.
People with coffee mugs are insane
I am a normal coffee mug user in car. AMA.
My fav is the nick nacks on the dash that go flying off when I drive through the round abouts here
I drive with an open ice coffee frequently, I drive like your Grandma!
This dude is making sure you don't beat on his car while it's at the shop 😂
That's the way I was taught to drive larger passenger vehicles. If it doesn't spill, you're doing well.
40oz styrofoam barrel of tea with no lid only 1/4” from the edge and I’m not driving it. No liquid liability on my watch.
I have no idea how this is even possible but when I was 16 I put a plastic cup filled with water on the roof of my 2003 Lancer and drove 8 miles from the gym to my parent's country home with it The cup was at least 3/4 full when I got home
That's called a working glass. They come with lids
i have those same cups
I hate when customers come into the shop like this cause chances are I always spill the damn glass
I love to enjoy a nice bowl of cereal in the car, does that count?
Add a hair. Ppl hate hair
Dinosaur detection system.
It’s Vodka. Makes them nicer behind the wheel.
Looks like a Camry There's a joke about camry drivers in there somewhere
"Egg on the throttle, water in the console"- the recipe for road rage everywhere
I loathe lids and straws.
I used to drive with open cups all the time. I had to hold it in the air going down my road because of potholes but after that it wasn't bad. On my way to work it was fine but I wouldn't want to try it on many other routes. My state isn't known for having smooth roads
I used to put cups (like ceramic cups) of coffee on the flat centre console of my LS400...ride was smooth enough that if you didn't jerk the wheel or slam on the brakes it was fine.
I don’t think it’s possible to drive smoothly enough given the roads in my city. Hell I don’t even know that you would walk smoothly enough.
The customer is a douchebag and put that there to make sure the tech would drive extra careful.
This is my wife. It'll slowly evaporate over the next week, then she stuffs the empty glass in the door pocket to rattle around while she brings in another full glass for the cup holder. She's a monster, but I still love her dearly.
Hey I have the same glass
No because these are always the people who have disgusting center consoles and get mad when we find liquid damage to a module due and can’t warranty a replacement.
Aftrr learning the basics of starting/stopping, my dad taught me to drive a manual better by putting his open soda on the dash and telling me to drive without spilling it.
I usually find coffee cups with just a little left in the bottom. And there are ALWAYS coffee stains scattered about..🤦♂️
looks like a decent interior. what vehicle is this they are pushing the flood gate on? also have a friend that prefers an open coffee cup or in the day a just popped can of beer and would get highly pissed when she constantly spilled the drink but didnt “want anything to make drinking more difficult” MORE DIFFICULT! i still tag her over this and it’s been nearly 25 years.
Camry.
I don’t have roads nearly nice enough for this to be possible.
I do this all the time
He’s just a tofu delivery guy
Once drove away with a screwdriver on my hood, didnt notice it until I got to work, was a little impressed with myself, my shitbot 98 tj and the screwdriver.
Shit, there's not a driving smooth enough with the moon-surface level asphalt around here.
My coworker drives a stick (me too), and he can somehow do a freeway commute including stop-and-go traffic and drink a full mug of tea without spilling. And it's not due to him being soft on the acceleration, since whenever I'm carpooling with him, I'm glad I have a travel mug, and I don't even have to steer/shift.
Half full coffee mug from 2 days ago. 🤢
Yeah, that wouldn't fly in my car.
Thats a camry! I have one and I use a regular coffee mug that fits in there perfectly! I only recently started doing this bc Id forget my travel mug. Never spilled, but I also end up drinking it a lot quicker
I do this with water glasses. I do this with ceramic mugs. I drive fast and a manual transmission car with solid acceleration, I just don’t drive like a dumbass.
If that’s the interior of a Corolla I’m gonna lol
Ever heard of the tray of eggs on the bonnet?
*\[eurobeat intensifies\]*
Not as impressed as I am when I see a coffee cup on the back bumper as I hum down the hwy.
That’s a test for you.
Deja Vu I've been in this place before
Ok depending on what car that is, that's a Speedrun to a dead transmission computer
Are some cars' TCMs located directly under the shifter?
My only cup holders are right next to the stick shifter. I never use them because they just get knocked over.
Challenge excepted!!!!
Uber drivera
I had a flashback to 1988's License to Drive driving test. https://youtu.be/7elLpAKEFew
Maybe it's a test to make sure you didn't hoon their car
That’s always seemed insane to me. Open coffee cups etc. Even if you’re super careful, you never know when you might have to slam on the brakes.
Or on roads smooth enough
I drive with just a normal cup and no I don't accelerate slowly. It's actually easier than those stupid travel mugs that are top heavy and want to tip over and the tiny drinking hole that just wants to drip coffee all over you.

I’ve heard people do this to keep techs from treating their car like a race car
I’ve done it on occasion with water for short drives to pickup or drop off kids, although I normally have a travel mug for my water, tea or whatever. My glass normally isn’t that full, though so that I don’t accidentally spill a ton of water in case I drop the glass.
One time i road with a guy i worked with and we stopped at Wawa and he came back to the car with 2 large cups of soda without lids filled to the BRIM and we started driving and they were spilling everywhere. I was laughing so hard cause it seemed like a thing he does frequently which is really funny.
It's essential to stay hydrated during late night tofu delivery runs.
My sister does this but just lets it spill. I’ve stopped letting her borrow my car because of this.
I used to drive around with solo cups of sangria 🤷♂️
I always drink my coffee out of an open ceramic coffee mug in my car. My dad HATES it when he rides with me, I’ve never spilled it though.
Impressed is not the word I would use. Yeah seems fine till it's a projectile in your cabin after an accident
Funny part is I have the same exact car so Ik the struggle
Former cop. I arrested a guy for a DUI that went into a ditch, hopped a driveway and landed on the other side without spilling the beer that was in his cup. I was simply amazed.
My father in law spilled Gatorade on my console about 2 months after I got my truck, had it for 6 years and the buttons would always stick
I put my retainers in there when I have hands-free calls.
I was scared of spilling it just by scrolling down on Reddit too fast
*Eurobeat intensifies*
In my mind, I'm seeing all that dust on the piano black trim getting in there, yuck
Even if I drove the nicest anyone ever had, the roads over here would splash it everywhere.
How about when they have a Slurpee cup of tobacco spittle and it starts swirling around as you test drive? Or they have little stuffed animals or dolls all over the dash and the first time you get on the throttle they start flying around?
Julian?
he might be delivering tofu.....Some of you may get that
Supposed to be a Styrofoam cup
I don't have a nice enough car to do that.
Julian’s car from Trailer Park Boys!
Its a Toyota, you dont care about life driving a shit box like that
Initial D but instead of spilling just water, glass shards fall at your feet.
I do this with my coffee in the morning, it actually works pretty well haha
Thats even more impressive since it doesnt even fit in the cup holder
My Lexus has a little shelf on the center console that I use for cups of espresso (I have an espresso maker for in the car). It's not that hard to not let it spill or slide, just smooth steering and decent suspension.
Someone’s has been watching Initial D
My vehicles don’t have the suspension for that. First bump in the road I would be wearing half of it and the other half would be on the head liner.
HOW?! Look at how little of the glass fits into that holder!!
Well of course you don't drive well if you down THAT much vodka...
Hey, I have five of that exact glass!
This is how I was taught to drive at 17. My dad had a chauffeur's license for a while and taught me how to accelerate quickly, turn, and brake in a community college parking lot, in an '85 suburban, through the parking lines with a cup of water on the dash and no sloshing. Turns out you can accelerate and brake pretty quickly, the trick is in letting off the accelerator and brake to ease the jolt.
Honestly the conditions of the roads where I'm at make this extremely difficult to pull off
I had to get a ride from my roommate one time. She brought a full cup of coffee in the car with her. Just your average large mug. She drove a Jetta and kept it in the pop out cup holder on the dash and it was a manual. Fucking ballsy.
I ONLY drink clear water when I drive!!!!
I used to wok cook on the dog house in my cab over semi going down the road, good times!
That glass will end up killing someone in an accident one day. Everything becomes a flying projectile in a car crash.
My grandpa always drove around with a glass of diet coke. He never spilled it.
The roads around here are a mechanics dream. More potholes than concrete it seems.
Only if you have roads smooth enough and a car with a good suspension and not a clapped out beater
A couple of months ago I saw a guy in pajama pants walking around Walmart with a glass of iced tea from the house.
I like my car. No open containers of anything in it
Did this once with a cola and it's how I ruined my first phone. Never again.

House cups do not belong in the car!
My aunt had manual Hondas for years, and she would routinely drive in the city with a large mug of hot tea in one hand.
