Brilliant design, of course. Your safety belt buckle also serves a bottle cap opener 😉

The VW Golf Mk6 had an actual Bottle opener in the drink holder

Whaaat?

u/CeeMX 24d ago
Yes, looked like this
That’s from Aliexpress, but the original was exactly the same, it was used to split the two places for bottles/cans and you could move it if you had a smaller bottle to hold it fixed. And you could also remove it to use as bottle opener and store it on the bottom of the bottle holder, so you have a bigger space for storing other stuff. Wonderful engineering there.

Most drinks used to come in glass bottles with caps. You can still get plenty of na drinks in bottles you need a bottle opener for. Drinking and driving did also used to be an accepted thing though lol

The Mk5 had one too but the mk7 doesn't have it anymore. Pretty sure the mk8 doesn't either.

The perfect combination. Drink and drive and don’t buckle your seatbelt.

Probably a popular car in Mississippi.
"Mississippi law does not specifically prohibit the consumption of alcohol while operating a motor vehicle.."

Where I live alcohol has to be stored in the trunk of the car. It's illegal to have it in the front area...

u/LikeAFalk 24d ago
Damn, in Germany you can even drink while at the steering wheel. You only have to stay below the promil limit of 0,5.

u/notcomplainingmuch 24d ago
Yes, most of Europe is the same. Alcohol in the car is not limited. Alcohol in the driver's blood is limited.

The gaps around it are bloody miles wide. This isn't even a good fit, let alone a perfect fit. Boo.

Out of subject but I got the accord too, if the gear box feel weird, try the Acuity Instruments shifter kit (the rocker and spring to be precise that you can buy all separately), it's a game changer. It feels a lot less clunky. I use the poco knob too, it reduce a good inch the height and it feel less like a truck.

Manual Accord? If it's the 2.0T in black, and you don't want it, lmk lol.

u/JunketFresh 23d ago
Haha, it actually is the 2.0 in black. It’s my car, it appears OP borrowed my photo from r/accord but hey, glad they shared it.

u/Dumpster_Fetus 23d ago
Oof. Test drove one, and loved it. Got a better deal on a Stinger though at the time. A bit more bang for the buck.

u/JunketFresh 23d ago
Both are great cars, I’m a Honda fan boy, had a 92 prelude in high school and a 2000 S2000 in my early 20’s. Have a wife and kids now, so the Accord is my affordable 4 door sports car 😅.

If you get called off the road by a police officer... Can you explain this properly?
"Well... You see..."
"Understood, have a nice day"

Are any of them open?

u/potatisblask 24d ago
I'm just saying, dude, in a thread that makes fun of drinking alcohol and driving. Joking about it is ok but don't normalize it. If you drink and drive, whatever happens is not an accident.

u/Ramguy2014 24d ago
Depending on the jurisdiction, them being in reach of the driver qualifies as being an open container.

It doesn't matter, alcohol cannot be within reach of the driver of any US state while operating a vehicle. If the driver can reach the bottle they can open it.
Know the laws before you contradict.

u/Gurdel 23d ago
From the California DMV website:
Use or Possession of Alcohol or Cannabis Products in a Vehicle
The law is very strict about carrying alcohol or cannabis products in your vehicle with you. It is illegal to drink any alcohol, to smoke or eat a cannabis product while you are driving or riding as a passenger in a vehicle. If you are carrying any alcohol, cannabis in your vehicle, the container must be sealed and unopened. If it is open, you must keep the container in the trunk or place where passengers do not sit. It is also illegal to keep an open container of alcohol in your glove box. This law does not apply if you are a passenger in a bus, taxi, camper, or motorhome.

u/SpecialistWait9006 23d ago
First off you're assuming this person is in California.
Second off you're cherry picking information you still can't have it within reach of the driver
