btw, pix, i can't believe you actually use the coin slots! :p
LOL! Don't ask me why I use the coin slots. I guess they designed it, therefor I use it.

young, I would like to hear the sound effects you added.

All you needed was VirtualDub or TMPEG and you could have reduced it down substantially. Email it to me, I can do it for you.

Quicktime movie

Here is the link to the same video but smaller in size, about 524k. You will need QuickTime 5 install to view. Are we off topic or what?

Hey pix, you have a lot of quarters there. How many quarters does it hold anyways? Just curious. And yes I also watched the cupholder file 3 times. Lol. The funny thing was I got it confused with my other MB where it pops up and swings out.

Young what year and model C did you ride in? Just curious. My 1999 C43 doesnt feel older. Actually it feels different yet similar. I sometimes smash my brake looking for a clutch. Lol. Also, there is a lot of buttons to push due to more options so it feels more complex...from the nice seat warmers in cold mornings to the muli air cushion seats.

Well, my wife's car is another story! She has a 50-60 minute commute and takes various items for breakfast. Like, she'll peel open an orange and when I clean her car, there's small spots on the dash, etc. In my car, it's VERBOTEN! It's bad enough that she has to put her purse on the floor and it rubs against the glove compartment!!

Here's the Cup Holder video. I doubled it in size (640x480), filtered out the audio, and reduced it to 1/3 its original size using Microsoft's MPEG4 codec. It should play via any MPEG4 Video Player (like Windows Media Player).

Cup Holder Video (508KB)

BTW, 508K is around 520,000 bytes, or small enough to fit on one of the old SINGLE-SIDED 3.5" floppy disks. I could have probably gone even smaller. I used VirtualDub for this.
