...that's how far we got before I dropped a full cup of coffee on the passenger seat of the new car.

Was there cream in the coffee???

Milk
Car is still too new to have a roll of paper towels in it yet.
On the car and not on you? So no burns?
I tried to get as much on myself as possible...pants, shirt, jacket, hands, inside my phone case...

ooooh, I've had that experience and I feel for ya. At least the clothes can be tossed in the washer. Harder to do that with the carpet and seats....
Wow. But that will clean up.

Code brown! (the other code brown)
Best way to get a rock chip in the windshield--buy new car.
Best way to pick up a nail or a screw in your tire--buy new tires.
Best way to dump a cup of liquid on your seat--buy new car.
A new car, or tire, or anything in perfect condition represents a vacuum with regard to random damage, and nature as we know, abhors a vacuum. The science does not lie.
What new car?
One of the many upsides to not drinking coffee...no chance of spilling it on anything nice.
I feel your pain though, the one and only wheel I've ever bent on a pothole happened about a month into my ownership of the only car I've ever bought new.

Even worse, I'm assuming it's your wife's new car...

Yup.

Many years ago, I guy I knew and his buddy were out in the country in an F150, running errands. They stopped for snacks. Shortly after that, they were driving up a blind hill when a very confused man came up it from the other side in their lane and hit them head on. A few hours later, in the hospital, banged up but not seriously hurt, the guy says to his buddy, "You know what I can't figure out? I had a pint of chocolate milk, didn't I? I think I'd just opened it before we got hit, but I can't remember what happened to it."
The buddy says, "You want to know what happened to your chocolate milk? I'll tell you what happened to your gawddamn chocolate milk: you had it in your right hand when we got hit. It slammed forward, then it slammed back. I got it on my face, I got it in my hair, I got it down my shirt, they even found some in my socks. That's what happened to your chocolate milk. Glad I could help."

I refuse to name my cars.
Although I do refer to my trailer as "The Enabler".
this is why I do not eat or drink in my cars. If I have to drink, it's something with a sealable lid.
I won't talk about the epoxy that leaked onto the back seat of the disco...
I made it -235 miles before spilling coffee in my 92 Mustang. 1st stop was to meet my uncle for an 1100 mile road trip in a car I just bought. Aunt offered me a coffee in a to go cup that I promptly spilled, there were no cup holders in 92 Mustangs.
Why negative miles? My plan was to plate it on e way out of town, first stop was at the DMV in Newago on a Wednesday, it’s a post office on Wednesdays DMV on Tuesday and Thursday. Finally got it plated somewhere south of the bridge.
Miles are approximate, you get the idea.
In reply to mad_machine :
This had a lid on it but it was a small cup that just came up over the top of the cup holder. When I grabbed it and lifted it, the cup folded in half and the lid popped off.
Moral of the story: Go big, or stay home.
