i make my passenger hold my beer while i'm shifting. there is no hope for these cars. if you where lucky enough to have the one that was below the radio and have yet to use it. then it still works.. if you have used it more than 3 times it fell off and can't be replaced. now. if you have an automatic and a parking brake there is a spot right next to the brake handle and drivers seat that sometimes you can wedge your beer bottle into it.
