The rainy season hit us hard in Southern California making a mess of our car mats in our BMW. But I think it is better to ruin the 8 year old mats in my car than the carpeting which is more difficult to replace. Now that my wife is driving the BMW instead the MDX, I think she would appreciate some decorative car mats that are somewhat pleasing instead of the steel blue cold carpeting.
If I knew exactly what to replace that is agreeable for both of us, I would have to go through this exercise trying to match my car with personal tastes of the driver. But my endless search of the perfect car mat will probably end at a design your own car mats store.
Even though I think tailored car mats or more of the custom type with plush carpeting are more suitable for the snobbish BMW driver, my first guess is that Harley Davidson floor mats would end the search right here and at least I wouldn’t be embarrassed by passengers wiping their feet on a hog.
But my wife’s choice of horse mats is somewhat perplexing and I can’t really understand why she would choose such a thing that would be more appropriate for the Ford Mustang, which we currently do not own even though I was a proud owner of the ’84 GT that spent as much time in the shop as being driven.
My second choice of Mickey Mouse car mats that I happened to toss out as a joke was well accepted by my better half and since we saved lots of money on Disneyland Tickets last year, we’ve become quite fond of the Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and friends. Yet somehow I feel somewhat ashamed wiping my feet off on the perpetual silly grin of Mickey.
Even though there are multitudes of decorative car floor mats, I’m sure that we’ll eventually come to an agreement that will result in something blue with a BMW emblem on it.
