Default Update on CH

Update on the cup holder. Rode 125 miles today with a 20 oz coke in the holder. No loss of fizz. I guess having a top keeps the pressure in better than an open can.

Next week - Adventures With Coffee Mugs

What? No pix!?!?!?!

OK, so was this a diet coke, caffiene free, cherry or Classic hi-test? We need to know these things to accurately gauge the performance of our cup holders against yours.

Gosh.........I am lax in my details. OK.....here we go.

COKE (regular)
Purchased at Subway in Wetumpka Al. 36092
20 oz (under the cap it said "Try Again" - I didnt win)
Temp on the Ambient Gauge said 65 degrees.
I took 3 sips while eating my 6" turkey breast on wheat.
2 more sips and placed it into the CH
Loaded up my youngest daughter ( 22 YO ) and rode out towards Lake Martin.
About 30 miles up HWY 63 I took a few more sips and placed back into the holder.
Stopped at Dadeville and finshed it off.
Bought another after gassing up ( Gas is down to $2.37 here today)
Neither of them lost fizz. Bottle is the way to go.

Sorry - no pix today.

Golly! Serves me right for even thinking I might be close to covering all the bases.

Answer is no.

Were you a machinist in another life? LOL
