All I said was that you should drink something before your drive or after the drive when you get out of the car. You can transport whatever you are drinking in a water bottle or anything else that will hold the liquid, then you can drink it when you want, but not while driving. You can also take those plastic bottles that bottled water comes in and put whatever you want to drink in there - that's what I do. I am guessing that in 1981-1983, carrying a drink in the car was not a concern, but now with all of these coffee shops it is a problem. Maybe one of the De Lorean suppliers will look into this and may decide to develop a cup holder. The problem is still where to put the damn thing. The Genius >On Mon, 6 Mar 2000 8:58:47 - Steven G.
