Default Stupid Question: What do you pre-'06 guys do without cup holders?
When I looked at an '06 the other day they told me it was the first year to have cup holders...or did they put them in '05? I was shocked to believe that the other years skipped such a basic thing as cup holders. So what do you guys do?

There is technically 3 cup holders in the 03-05 350Z, for which I use none. No food or liguid will ever find it's way in my 350Z other then grocery in the trunk.

Well... at least, take comfort in the fact that your new '06 Z will have more cupholders than most minivans.

no food, no drinks is my policy even though i have 04.5. not worth the risk. only exception are bottled drinks only and only if the cap is on tightly before entering the vehicle.

There is one pop-out cup holder where the glove compartment should be on an ordinary car.

There are two places to put drinks in the middle console as well.

I bought the Z as a SPORTS CAR, and therefore the fact that it came with a 6-speed manual, good power, Cf driveshaft, and solid aftermarket performance suppport with a decent curb weight kinda overshadowed the need for cup holders. As others have said, no food or drink in the car for me. But if you really wanted to, there is a retractable cup holder in the dash.
