I ALWAYS have something to drink in my cars. NEVER once have I spilled anything. But I use, as others have suggested, the type of cups that have spill proof lids.
I f you feel you need the drink from McDonald's (or similar) and use their cups, I've seen hang on cup holders at the "cheapy" parts places. They hook onto the door between the glass and the felt. I had and used one for a couple of years, before manufacturers started installing what they call cup holders as standard equipment. It worked well. Only problem I noticed is the need to be EXTRA careful CLOSING THE DOOR.

I kept spills to a minimum by using the cupholder for the (nonexistant) rear seat in my panel.
That also kept me from 'drinking and driving'.
My wife has been driving my panel for the last couple months since she blew out the trans in her Durango.
I took it today for a free oil change at the dealer, I had to spend a couple hours getting it presentable.
I'm a sad panda.

You are right, Sorry, all kidding aside I am not leaving without my coffee, and I refuse to pay3.00 for a couple shots with hot water (Americano) I use these a stainless carafe and a stainless cup, I got from Costco. These can roll around, tip over, and dont leak.The brand name is Contigo, I recommend them.

I think I'm gonna go with a travel mug, even though it'll mean having to wash it out here and there, and who knows where else!
I was going to go with the Lederhausen, but I searched for big and tall sizes in yellow all over the Internet without finding anything. What a disappointment!!!
As for the Disney cup, I guess if they had a Jungle Book version, I might go for it.

Well, I can't say I wasn't warned. Just got back inside from cleaning up a hot chocolate spill in my 2009 HHR LS. Been working all night. Could have done without the hassle. But hot cocoa gets sticky pretty fast. Problem seems to be when I wear a certain longer jacket, the right bottom edge of it along with the zipper handle somehow pull the lids off my hot beverage cups as I'm driving along unbeknownst. I know, I know. Don't wear that jacket. Haha. But seriously, solutions - anybody? :)
