And to put no finer point on it, if you want decent coffee WTF are you doing going to 4bucks??? Buy your own beans, hell roast them yourself, for sure grind them fresh every time you want coffee, clean your coffee machine regularly, and make sure you have a decent stove top espresso makers unless you can afford a Hummer sized industrial multi-head machine.
And Loctite shut those cupholders!!!

That is ridiculous!. You're more likely to have a spill because you didn't put the cover up letting the holders flap back and forth.
Besides, if you're at Starbucks just get one of the coffee stirrers. The little green stirrers fit in the drink hole and keep it from spilling. I break off the long stirrer and just plug the end into the hole. Haven’t spilled a drop since using them.

Nothing spills.

You could just use a piece of scotch tape or if you're a real fancy-pants you can keep these Post-it markers in your car. This way you're not dealing with a drippy green stir-stick everytime you want to take a sip....
btw - i got this idea when I first ordered a drip coffee to go at Starbucks in Shanghai - they put the tape on as default....

Medium in a large cup or grande in a vente cup works all the time. Since I have the "testicular heater/chiller" cup holder option in my 993, I never burn myself with this set up no matter how hard I drive.
For the vodka/tonic, I just delete the tonic and keep the top on the bottle when not drinking...

At least 4bucks began as a coffee enterprise as opposed to a cheap-food enterprise. I'd say that the coffee at starbucks is more tolerable than at mcds. Bleck. Yay for espresso machines.

Love Starbucks.
Dunkin Donuts Turbo not bad either.
Love the cupholders thought I was gonna hate em.
Yep occasionally they spill but you can wipe it up with a napkin.
No biggie!
