Default 03 350z in dash cup holder is useless.?

is it just me or does the 03 350z have you useless in dash cup holder?

the cup holder doesn't come out all of the way so that i can put a drink in it. is it broken or is that just how they are? if they are just like that i don't even see why the put a damn cup holder in there if you cant even use it.

The dash holder is the perfect size for a cocktail glass, I normally keep the rum and coke there to make the drive home from meets more interesting.

LOL!!

It held a semi-large drink for me about a month back with no problems...


However I've been scared to try that again.

Agreed. Only problem is if you have the air conditioning on it tends to cool the coffee. I use the cup holder every day. Put my travel mug in it and push the cup holder in a bit, so the mug is semi-secure.
