ok.. so remind me what the difference is between say a 98 and a 00+. does the 00+ not make that annoying a$$ noise when you a drink in it. for me it seems like if its full it wont make a sound but about halfway through a Sonnys or McDs unsweet tea it squeeks like crazy

have thought about this before

Its called vibration dynamics. The cup holder is plastic and has a stiffness associated with it. Think of it as a spring. The spring responds based on the mass its holding (cup) during excitation of the environment (driving). As the mass changes, so does the spring response. That response, in this case, occurs from an expelled squeek, which happens to be at a natural mode for the chafing pieces or connection point its coming from.

Nope. Totally talking about the cup holder...... The real fix is already known by "most" married dudes. You learn to "tune/filter" it out.

yeah i bet you were.

i got no problem turning a deaf ear, but when a grown *** man comes on a forum and starts calling people f@gs and queers, and acts stupid about people using the search feature (which we all know isn't ever going to happen with people), then he needs to shut the fukk up and HE needs to "tune/filter" out the threads that are dupes.
