The number of places in, on and around the engine of a motor vehicle where a beverage container can be placed - particularly if the engine is running - without a substantial risk of it being knocked or vibrated over is very small.
It seems reasonable therefore that at least one cupholder should
be provided in that area, either permanent, or of the fold-down or slide-out type.
The holder could alternatively be used to retain an oil can, if a beverage is not currently being consumed.

Actually 2. You need 2. One on the block to keep tea/coffee
warm and another away from the engine heat for beer. |
|
| |
[+] Make it have a solid (or having only small drain holes) so
it's good for holding bolts and other little bits. |
|
| |
A tap fitted to the radiator hose would also enable
hot water top ups, with the added benefit of being
fortified by a dose of anti-freeze. You can heat this
crumb on the manifold. [+] |

+ yay, your mechanic has a place to put his beer
Whilst working on your car! |
|

+ yay, [xandram] liked your idea so much she said it
twice! |
|

I deleted one! This happens to me frequently here
and I don’t really know why… |
|
| |
Just teasin'. I see it a lot as well, other bakers. Wonder
why it does that. |
|

Probably the same Mysterious Power than inflicts all those retrospective edits on [kdf] ... |

Fortunately, we keep copies for him now. |

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response that this idea has received, a purchase has been made on eBay* and we hope that soon it will be possible to declare it Baked. |
|
| |
*Bizarrely, AliBaba were unable to supply the requisite item for less than USD $0.03 ... |

| |
I know about hitting OK twice but sometimes it
actually does nothing and you must hit it again!
Therefore I guess I got duplicate annos...I sure
don’t mind being teased! A little like being tickled! |

Uh, nothing to see here folks. Move along. |

Oh, just get a room, you two ... |

Chatting with a couple of guys down in our loading bay
(not much in the way of deliveries today) about this idea,
and one guy pointed out that some F150s have cup...
holders is a bit of a stretch... indentations? In the tailgate
- For the strange American pastime of "tailgating*".
Apparently, the Dodge Challenger also has "cup holders" in
the engine bay that you can buy "dress up" kits for. I don't
know what you'd dress a Dodge Challenger up as
personally. |

Initial investigations reveal that several modern high performance vehicles have remarkably little free space into which a cupholder can be installed; older vehicles are much more accommodating. |
|
| |
For cases where there isn't much room in the engine bay
itself (and the other cases too...), put the cup-holder(s) on
the inside of the bonnet lid (folding down in some fashion)
or flip-out to hold above the fenders. |

What if you just parked the car in the kitchen? |
|

Somebody would try to deep fry it. |
