woot

base model pride
i have a base model too
yours looks a lot cleaner than mine tho. but from the factory they would be TWINS

any interior shots? you gotta show off that cloth. (if it isn't horribly stained like mine is)

Sean C. · 11-08-05, 04:13 PM

Stains? Me?

Thanks for the compliments guys!
Probably not quite the original color, but definitely no kool aid. I haven't really done much more than vacuum it out lately.

Maybe that blotch on the arm rest is the original color? I usually keep a blanket over the back seat too.

The other towel is in the wash.

The last full time passenger in this car was me about 6 years ago.

I work at a Dodge dealership.

I'll be there and I'm going to do everything in my power to have either my dad or sister (or maybe mom?) bring the RL.

How can you enjoy the car with plastic wrappers and seat covers?
I just don't understand it.

I'm going to ditch my carpet plastic in the spring. It's been on there since October of '04. It's kinda funny, I don't even notice it anymore. But then every time I pick somebody up, it's the first thing they comment on. "Did you just buy this?" they ask. lol Quite the conversation piece, I must say. I will say this, though... the plastic saved my carpet's life last winter. I had to park behind my house in a dirt lot and I can't tell you how many times I had to get in the car with snow-covered, muddy, grassy, dripping shoes.

My parents are worse than I am. My mom's RL has towels covering the floor mats at all times.

I don't blame Sean for protecting his mats either. Looks like they're in mint shape. I keep a second set of mats (new) for special occasions.

Sean C. · 11-08-05, 09:51 PM

Ya, I picked up the OCD neat freak habit from the parents. Really though, the only plastic I have in my car is over that driver's side floor mat. I don't really notice it anymore either, but when I see all the dirt it collects over time, I'm glad I have it there. It's pretty much the same way with the towels over the seats. It never ceases to amaze me how dirty those white towels get over time. And when an event like NLARLM comes along, it takes 2 seconds to pull them out.

Keep it clean while you're getting groceries. Pull the covers off for the weekend.

Grant · 11-08-05, 11:03 PM

that is so clean its unbielivable, now you just made my car look like crap

when my mom had her legend she would put towels on the floormats all the time

91LSMAN · 11-08-05, 11:45 PM

Ya'll are clean freaks.

swift · 11-09-05, 12:01 AM

do i even have to say anything.....

My dealership wont let me clean my own car...dorks.

Ps---Plastic wrap is good. My carpet sucks now.

Ken · 11-11-05, 05:01 PM
