That's not OP. This is page 2. It reads like a bot post...Some odd linguistics ("cannot find true buyer," "mop my cotton sheet," "i stuck with previous one..."), non sequitur with the rest of the topic, and involving a BMW. Probably will come back and add some SEO links to the post or profile after nobody's paying attention anymore.

I'm thinking I feel some deletage and bannage coming on if there's no activity that sounds a little more normal in the next day or two.

Previously, I did not think about these shortcomings, but now this cup holder bothers me and annoys me.

If it comes down to shifter or a cup holder, well in the olden days we stuck the cup between our legs (not coffee--dangerous). I once got a beer soak that way though. way back in the day (1970s).
