dude, I feel ya. my rx8 has 2 cupholders right behind the shifter thus making me hate putting drinks in there b/c a) when you put drinks in there you take away from the middle console rest that you must slide back to use the cupholders and b) its akward having shit there while resting you're hand normal and shifting. so usually I just only use anything thats in bottles and just throw them on the pass. seat or the floor.
