The one under the HVAC I put all my crap change in (pennies, nickels, dimes). The other one I put my loonies, toonies and quarters in, as well as drinks.
Used to put my cell phone there but I upgraded to the iphone and now I have a dock in the lighter so my phone just sits on that. Not the best looking thing but it does the trick.

The one in the front is my official mp3 player holder, works really well for that because the wire only has to go from the mp3 player to the cassette player.

There is not enough room in that thing for change to stay long-term. |

that is true that is why I use the one behind the shifter for coins and the one with the top for the other things.

In the hole btw the shifter and the console, I have the Ashtray option in my car, theres a rubber socket that kinda "clamps" in the bottom of the whole (theres 2 little holes at the bottom) and the Ashtray fits perfectly in there. I should take a picture of it one day.
thats exactly what I have:

I use the front cup holder as my cell phone holder, the middle console one for drinks, and then the change holder on the left of the wheel for my bluetooth headset. Never tried putting drinks in the front one cause I haven't had the need to yet...lol.

Wow, I can't believe how many people keep change in their cars. The last time I had change in the car was before the Alero. And before I got a electronic toll transponder.

I keep the ash tray cup that came with the car in the front one. There is a holy medal in the cup becasue it broke off the clip.
The rear one. I can't believe how many people are saying that a 20 oz soda bottle will not fit in there. I've had NO problems with a 20 oz fitting in there.
Mine is a 2000 and it has that little door thingy on it if that makes a difference

Or you could get a coffee cup that has the small bottom on it, and then it will fit.  |
