[DMCForum] Re: Cupholders

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

That would be Paul Cierny, aka "our eccentric friend" His stainless 
cupholders are only 1/25th of the custom stuff he has done to his 
car. He has probably added close to 200lbs of stainless add ons all 
over his car. It really doesn't affect the appearance of his car if 
you know what I mean, but a helluva nice guy. Just a little 
eccentric.

Me & Shannon got to study his car in detail at the Evansville Auto 
Festival in 2004. He's the undisputed king of functional hilljack 
mods.
