For real. I run out of gas way before I could get to the bottom of two drinks.
Occasionally I have more than just one person in the car with me.
You should wheel more.
One can strike up quite a thirst driving 5 or 6 mph over 8 hours.
What part of town are you in? I'm on the west side of columbus with a '02 LX. Moving to Lexington January '21, but if you want to try to meet up to grab measurements or whatever you may need, let me know. DM if you prefer.

Thanks @I Lean for the feedback on the cupholder coaster. The previous design is very hard to remove from the cupholder for cleaning. A small raised feature is added in the center just beneath the butterfly. We can grab it and remove the coaster. Two holes? They are for pens or pencils when you dont use the butterfly.

That's what I'll need. I typically carry 1L water bottles with me (Ozarka, etc.), so I need something smaller diameter. Coupled with the deeper cup holder this would be perfect. Does a 1L water bottle fit in the insert?
Ben, I had another idea for a new product.
I've got a rear bumper with dual swing outs. I do not plan to, nor would I want to carry both swing outs full-time for road driving. I've searched but haven't been able to find, a cover, a condom really, to cap the bare spindles that hold the arms to prevent them from rust or other damage. Would need to be robust enough to handle general wear, handling, etc.
I'm not entirely sure how it might fasten, as the spindle is smooth and needs to stay that way. Maybe a pressure/tight fit, or some kind of soft material inside to allow it to squeeze the spindle. The lock nut could possibly be used, but I wonder if keeping the top of the condom a single, sealed piece would be best to prevent water intrusion.
Thoughts? If someone knows of a product like this that already exists, please let me know.

The spindle is typically full of grease. Are you going clean the grease out and to re-pack the grease each time you take it off?
A tall vinyl cap might do the trick. Available from many places including McMaster.

Could you make these inserts also fit into the butterfly version of the cup holder?
I would. Once the bearings are removed it's just a residual layer on the spindle. Bearings are easy to store in grease, opening two swing outs multiple times per day sucks. I've taken to just leaving the arms open if I'm not planning on going anywhere immediately.
