Default Capuccino is no longer allowed in my car ever

The other day I stopped and bought a capuccino on the way to a buddies house. On the way I took a turn a little hard and managed to spill some on the console. Long story short other than having to clean up a mess a little bit got in behind the faceplate on my CD player without my knowing it and turned it into a paperweight.

I'd be upset except that I suppose having to replace my headunit is not the worst thing in the world. While I'm at it I think I will replace the fronts with some infinity's and rears with polk audio's.

Hooray for good credit! And then there is the fact that I managed to scrape by Christmas this year without putting anything on my credit card.

If by headunit you're referring to the stock bose unit, then by no means is still a capuccino in your car a bad thing. It was a paperweight long before you spilled your capuccino on it.

Change capuccino vendors or instruct them on how to make it correctly. The perfect capuccino should be expresso and a small amount of steamed milk. If made properly, it would never spill. I AM the capuccino master! 3 stops a day of quad shots, thats my habit!

Seriously consider about switching to speed. It'll probably save you some money.

It was a Pioneer CD player. It wasn't an expensive one but it did the job.

If you are talking about Starbucks type lids, they are designed to geyser out at the first upset. I don't allow them in my car ever. I now have a stainless tumbler with a seal-able lid for times when I NEED to grab a cup I keep in the back.

Door cup holder, I wish
