Most people probably would have been cussing up a storm.

Life's too short to cry over spilled coke.
Got Milk ???

Water, just order it with water guys.

You know… I have asked myself the same question…. I don’t know why… I guess is not a good investment for manufactures to create a waterproof/ resistant and still make money. I’ll be too expensive. I think I will be buying me the new Motorola SLVR

We'll considering we don't talk underwater.... Lol !!! But, really they have sports stuff that is made for the active people like us so it could be that big of a deal. But, then again less people would buy the insurance .... maybe not cause it covers loss as we'll

Yeah ...... Why Not? Or, really - Why the He!! not?

I mean pablo talks from the bottom of the pool.
OK, now who know what I'm talking about?

That's right, when I take a drive with the wife. We use a $10 soft cooler we found at Walmart that fits right in there. We took a gallon of water, 2 liter of soda, cheese, salame, wine, sandwiches, apples, energy bars, crackers, cookies, etc...

All nice and right where we could get to it. Now that is the way to transport a drink in my car.

My wife spilled a home blended fruit shake in my car the same way. She took a corner fast in the work parking lot. She brought the car back home right away. I took out the drivers seat and the center console to clean up. I was able to vacuum most of it up with a Shop-Vac. There's still a slight smell of stale fruits in the car.

If it was unsweetened tea and you have black interior, let it dry.

I bought a 32 ounce smoothie and as soon as I set it in my console my fingers went through the stirefoam and it poured 12 ounces on my brand new black carpet I had just installed in the stang! Now I have to pull the seat out and steam clean the carpet

bro you need to bring this shi.t up with Chic fila, ive had a leaky cup from them before as well and i tossed it. But they just about destroyed your phones, I work for t-mobile by the way but that's irrevelant. and there making your brand new car messy. They need to pay for your shi.t dude.

I use the pop-out cup holder for the big Chic-fil-a drinks! I only use the center console holder when i have 2 drinks I can place side by side so they wont tip or spill over. I always take my car to pick up lunch for the office and sometimes carry up to 4-5 drinks.

Thanks for the tip but my car is an 06 and all I have is the cup holders in the center console. Yesterday I pulled up the console and there were only a few drops of tea, so I'm ok....

Good point! but I don't think chic fila will take any responsibility. I lost $170 for the phone (V551) and my Bluetooth headset $50. oh well.. I wanted to get a new phone anyways…

the pop out cup holder is just too flimsy and not deep enough for my grande or venti non fat white mocha with no whip!
