Rotten Robbie - An exercise in cupholder safety

Default Brian T

I zipped down to Rotten Robbies off Hamilton in Campbell, CA, because they've got the cheapest 92 octane in the Bay Area ($1.73, when everyone else is $1.94).<p>Imagine my surpise when I find that they changed their fountain drink cups so even the 44 oz drink fits in the A4 cup holder. I was excited for one brief minute.<p>Slamming on the gas out of the parking lot, my drink went plop onto the floor. Fortunately I had already scotchgarded my entire interior, and I am extremely happy to report that the Rotten Robbie plastic cups do not pop open upon impact, so nothing more than an oz or two (out of 44) fell out of the cup. <p>So again I am extremely pleased to report the excellent performance of Rotten Robbie, as a friend of the A4 interior.<p>97 1.8T Q AT Sport (pepsi-modified interior).

Default It's not just the size that's the problem - but also the short height of the holder and it's loose movement - it sucks in every way...
