    No, it’ll hold an extra large DD coffee. It’s stronger than you think. Just don’t spill your coffee often or it will gum up the mechanism and make it harder to retract without potentially breaking it.

    I’ll try and remember to take a photo later. You can fit a full size axe behind the back seat head rests with the AC cab.

    That's neat but what if I don't drink coffee?

    I've tried it twice, age 3 ish (?) and age 16......neither was a good experience.

    ***Thanks for the "don't do what I did" warning...funny. Hope you go that cleaned out.

    lol…i kept reading axle in your previous post and couldn’t figure out for the life of me how a guy could fit an axle behind the headrests.

    And FYI, be very careful with the ax back there. My concern would be that it could put some pressure against the glass window. And if you’re ever priced out the parts and labor for an OEM replacement, you’ll poop your pants.

    Our county along with a handful of others in Tennessee ended mandatory emission testing a couple years ago. Maybe someone got the notion that thousands of vehicles driving to the county emissions testing facility and idling for lengthy periods while waiting in line created more emissions than could be eliminated by culling out a few vehicles that failed the test. IIRC, the EPA loosened rules as well.

    Yeah I never heard of Dutch Bros. It's ok, @The Black Mamba is a Texas transplant. :boink:
    I thought we were talking coffee, but Dunkin Donuts was mentioned, so as a native Texan, my mind immediately goes to Shipley's.

    Okay, it’s not just me. When I was there, I couldn’t find good coffee and Dunkin Donuts was bottom of the barrel because nobody drank it and it sat it the pot all day rancid.

    There's no big mainstream corporation specializing in serving up coffee in Texas, as far as I know, that is from Texas.
    However there's little local coffee shops. My town has one I've heard is good. But I rarely drink coffee.

    It really depends upon the traffic and if a lot of coffee drinkers frequent the place. Poor traffic generally equates to bad coffee.

    Here nowadays, it’s hard to find a Dunkin that consistently makes decent coffee. Most of their focus is on iced coffee which doesn’t really require a good fresh blend. I only frequent a select few places becuase of that here.
