It's not about the $8, it's about the principle, like gaijin said. If they really just forgot to include those in my car, why couldn't they say "Sorry sir, we must have missed it. Don't worry, we'll fix it for you." instead of some BS like "Discontinued" ?
Granted, it looks like they were, in fact, discontinued, so in this case, I guess I was wrong
I want them because they will be very useful to me. I hardly ever store cups in the cupholders, so I could put my keys n stuff there.
