With only 2 "fuel-ups" so far, you can't be driving much...


OH, and I agree on the all-weather mats. I had the smart carpet mats in for the summer and when I swapped them out, they showed noticeable wear! The rubber mats will likely stay in forever, except for times when zippy goes formal.

No, not much driving. All of our trips are "short" distance. My commute is only 28 miles round trip and it's divided by 3 vehicles right now

My carpet mats still look band new, after 7 months of rain, snow, etc. I just keep them very clean. I never leave salt of dirt on them.

I have the Coco Mats, which are really nice & very tough! The only thing that I DON'T like about them is the way those little pine needles get stuck in them and are very hard to get out!

So last weekend Lil Panda was all nice and clean.....NOW he looks like he's been taking a mud bath!

This weekend doesn't look like there will be any break, as we're suppose to get MORE SNOW!

Don't know about YOU, but I'm fed up to my snout with this snow crap!!!!

Bring on the 70 degree temps and SUN, SUN, SUN!

The weather up here in NW Indiana has been the worse I've ever seen as far as driving goes. Yesterday was 30 miles of black ice on I-94, not a single lane was remotely free of ice.
