Skydiving and Auto Floor Mats
Jimmy Plant asked:
I’m usually a careful kind of guy. I take normal risks like most people, but I tend to avoid really crazy situations. I guess to make it all balance out, I hang out with my friend Tim who is the total opposite. Tim is always up for any challenge or new thrill, however insane it might sound. Once, just on some random bar bet, he drank an entire bottle of Tabasco in one swig! Another time, when we visited Yosemite National Park, he wrestled and killed a bear— just because it gave him an insolent look.
I’m usually just a spectator to these antics, but one time, I was a participant.
On a lazy Saturday I received a call from Tim. “Hey man,” he said, “I have some really bad news. I’m going to die.”
“What!” I said. “That’s terrible!”
“Yeah, but it’s my last wish to go have one last thrill. I’m going skydiving, and you’re coming with me.”
Now, I have a major fear of heights, but I couldn’t very well ignore Tim’s last request, so I agreed.
Before the jump, we were required to attend a class which taught us the basics of how to jump, what to do in the air, and when to pull the release on our parachutes. The instructors were very serious, and they explained how important it was to follow directions.
The plane took off and we started to climb. I sat huddled inside, sweating in my jumpsuit. Tim was next to me taking nap. “Wake me when its time to jump,” he had told me on takeoff. When we reached the jump point, I elbowed Tim.
“Wake up man. We’re here!”
Tim woke up, yawned, and rolled out of the plane. I rushed to the edge and looked out. He fell gracefully, and then pulled his chute and drifted toward the distant ground.
When I saw that he was ok, I stopped to consider my own impending jump. My fear of heights had seized me firmly and I felt there was no way I could go through with it. I turned to the instructor and shouted over the plane’s roar.
“I have a fear of heights homie! I can’t do this!”
“Too bad,” barked the instructor, and with a flying ninja kick he sent me flying out of the airplane’s open hatch.
I felt the exhilarating rush of the fall and looked at the world spread out below me. It was the most amazing thrill of my life! When it came time to pull my parachute cord however, the string tangled and twisted uselessly. I grabbed the reserve chute cord but that too refused to open.
“Thanks a lot Tim,” I muttered, and I slammed into the ground at 100mph.
When I woke up, I was riding in my trusty Mustang down the highway. Tim was driving.
“What happened?” I asked, “Why am I not dead?”
Tim laughed.
“It was the craziest piece of luck! You happened to land on a penguin that escaped from the zoo, and that unhappy bird cushioned your fall!”
I felt queasy.
He went on.
“Oh yeah, and by the way I’m not really dying, I just said that to get you to come along!”
That was the last straw. I barfed all over my floor mats and then passed out. But before I was totally unconscious, I heard Tim shout:
“Don’t worry man, I’ll make it up to you— next week we’re going bungee jumping!”

Floor Mats, Now With More Rubber
Jimmy Plant asked:
OEM floor mats are not always made to strict quality standards. They can often get worn out in a matter of months, fraying at the edges and sporting deep wear spots under your heel. The good news is that they are easy to replace. The even better news is that there are many quality manufacturers out there who know how to make a floor mat out of high quality nylon that can withstand the abuse. Available options include OEM replacements, custom logo floor mats, super plush carpeted floor mats and even some high quality rubber floor mats. OEM replacements are usually the entry level, mid-grade floor mat. They are a no-frills, get the job done floor mat. Logo floor mats are usually made from higher quality fabrics than your OEM mats, providing you with a more durable mat that adds a customized touch to your interior. Vehicle logo emblems, NFL, MLB, NBA, NCAA and military logo floor mats are the most common types, however it is possible to find custom logo floor mats available for special order. Plush carpeted floor mats are the top-of-the-line; up to 48 ounces in weight and made from premium nylons, these mats will last forever and can even reduce the amount of road noise in your cabin. Most carpeted floor mats are available in various colors, the most common of which are black, grey and tan.
Rubber floor mats, on the other hand, are a whole different animal. These mats, also commonly referred to as All Weather floor mats, are often quite thick and they will have some sort of a tread on them. This tread gives your feet traction and allows dirt, grime, snow and water to run off your feet, but stay out of your carpets. If you live in a climate that sees a lot of snow, a high-walled rubber floor mat will do the best job protecting your auto carpet from mildew-inducing moisture. Rubber floor mats can often work as a complete floor liner, giving you 100% coverage on the carpet that really sees foot traffic. These rubber floor liners are usually a 1-piece custom molded mat, however it is not uncommon to find them in a 3-piece overlapping design. The more versatile 3-piece design is used to accommodate irregularities in the floor, like having a center hump under the carpet or to help make provisions for stick shifts and center consoles.

You Floor Mats Matter Too
Evander Klum asked:
A clean exterior exudes a clean and responsible car owner. Your aim for buying a car is to be on your appointments on time and to feel comfort while traveling. Having a clean car on the inside is important to achieving these goals. And a clean car interior includes what’s on the flooring.
Drivers and passengers often neglect the cleanliness of the car floor mats, carpets, foams and floor boards. These materials which are being stepped on are essential in maintaining the interior. Thus, they require regular cleaning and maintenance. Include them while cleaning the interior.
First, remove the floor mats and the front carpets. Under the carpets foam pads must also be removed. If you wish to change the floor mats, replace them with custom car floor mats. These will match your personality and will further give ease while inside the car. The foam pads on the convertibles, on the other hand, can get wet due to leaks in the top, and they can take on a rotten odor that might result to the dizziness of the passengers; so it is better to remove and clean them regularly. Give them a good airing out in the sun to make them smell good.
If you think cleaning the interior will cost much money and will require complicated procedures, you are definitely wrong. With the help of a small amount of baking soda in your kitchen, your car will smell better. Sprinkle off just a few amount of baking soda on the foams. Vacuum if off and the bad odors will extinguish. The car foam mats easily get smelly so better schedule their regular cleaning.
If you see that they are deteriorating and tearing, replacing them is the best solution. You may order at a home supply store or carpet shop or at any aftermarket stores either in the internet or in your favorite suppliers in town. It is, however, important to take note that the new one is of the same quality, thickness and density of the original so that it will suit the interior space for them.
Also, do not forget to wipe down the paint on the floor boards.
Furthermore, it is important that your carpets must be in good shape if you have mats over your carpets. To assure their good shape, start by vacuuming them fully using a household upright vacuum cleaner. On a flat clean surface, lay the carpet on a flat clean surface. For several minutes, go over it with the vacuum. Then, pick the carpets up and beat them against a chain link fence. If the fence is not available, you can do it on a brick wall or other flat object. Keep beating until there are no more amounts of dirt and dust that are flying out of them. To air out in the sunshine, hang them up on a clothes-line.
If they smell, you kitchen supply – the baking powder, can again help. A small amount of baking powder sprinkled evenly on them will soak up most of the odors that are so irritating to the nose. Then, before putting back in the car, make sure to vacuum the baking powder off.
Floor mats are available in different variants. Make sure to choose those that respond well to the beat-against-a-chain-link-fence method. For rubber mats, a simple washing and hosing down can make them clean.
You would want your car as clean as brand new. Renting a professional steam cleaning system will really clean those mats well. An alternative way is through using a spray-on carpet cleaner.
By regularly checking, cleaning and maintaining the car floor mats, carpets, foams and floor boards while doing an “interior job”, you are ensured of the neatness, tranquility and comfort that you need while traveling with your car. You will experience a better smelling dust free and cozy interior.

A Piece of History: Mazda and the Mazda Floor Mat
Anthony Fontanelle asked:
Mazda cars are the definition of Japanese mastery when it comes to automobile make. Their lineup of sports cars are among the recognized leading-edge models that incorporate the latest development in car technology. In fact, this year found the MazdaSpeed 3 part of Automobile Magazine’s “All Stars 2007” list.
The success Mazda currently enjoys now did not come quite easily. Like any other company that has stood the test of time, Mazda underwent a colorful history of on and off progress. Beginning from the year 1960, the company officially became an automaker that saw fast development when it progressed from a 16 horsepower kei car to a sports car that includes a Wankel designed engine. It was in the 70’s when Mazda saw a significant position as a performance leader. It outperformed its piston-based counterparts by a large margin with the full use of Wankel rotary engines. However, it was also in this decade when the company’s first financial crisis was felt. The first RX-7 released in 1978 would be a strong image leader for Mazda, but actual sales revival would not come until the early 1980’s. It would be in this decade that Mazda would gain international success. Its lineup of high quality cars would eventually echo the ingenuity it exudes into the rest of the world. From this moment on, Mazda shifted gears and took the progressive path.
There is one thing that Mazda cars possess that proves to be a defining component for interior safety. This is the Mazda floor mat. Simple yet customized, the high quality Mazda floor mats heighten the exemplary engineering Mazda is known for. They basically provide protection. Usual factors like mud, dirt, water, and debris can be quite catastrophic for the interior flooring, so these floor mats act as a protective shield against unwanted elements. Moreover, the Mazda floor mats are available in different designs that can add a personalized touch.
It is components like the Mazda floor mats that add substance to Mazda’s rich history. With the way things are going for the company, it is safe to say that Mazda will continue to be successful in the upcoming years.

Review on Rubber Floor Mats After our Spring Break Vacation
Andrew Bernhardt asked:
So to help paint a realistic picture here, I first need to describe the absolute reckless and careless nature of my brother’s children. He’s a great parent, but perhaps a bit mellow on the discipline end of things. One example that first pops in my mind is of a road trip to Palm Springs that we made in my Chevy Camaro last spring break.
We were all very excited because this is a yearly trip that we have been making since being children, but when I pulled up at my brother’s house, out came the destructive rats from their house and in they came through the passenger window. That’s right, they had jumped through the passenger window just like they saw the actors do on Dukes of Hazzard. Their muddy feet went all over my Sheepskin seat covers! I couldn’t believe it.
So the first attempt that I made to clean up any further messes was to make sure they stayed buckled up. This was important for their safety as well as for the preservation of my sweet Camaro. Needless to say, the seat belts kept them buckled up but their arms and feet were still flying all over the place while I was driving. I’ve never seen a brother and sister fight and play as much as these two do. One second they **** each other, and the next second they are best friends.
Luck would have it….I remembered that I received a great gift from my father for Christmas. He sent me some car mats for the trip because we had several outdoor activities planned including hiking, swimming, etc., and the mats were still in my trunk.. So I promptly pulled over at the next exit which happened to be in the lovely town of Fontana. What a place! I’ll write more about the Stangs and Chevelles that I saw out there during our brief stay. They also have a great race track there.
The mats were a total success. They were rubber mats and covered the entire flooring of my Camaro! So all I had to do was take the suckers out and hose them down to get all of the mud that the kids tracked in. Simply put, I recommend rubber mats to anyone that has passangers that are anything like my niece and nephew
Many of these mats are custom-fit for your ride. This was a major plus because some of the mud stains could have ruined my interior, but the mats held on to the mud like David Tyree did for the Giants in the Super Bowl.

Protection and Style With Mercedes Floor Mats
Dwyane Thomas asked:
Your Mercedes Benz car is considered as one of the most luxurious vehicles in the world. Mercedes Benz is a brand name that has become synonymous to both luxury and safety.
But what good is a luxurious car if it is all dirty in the inside? With people coming in and going out of your car all the time, with dirty slippers or muddy rubber shoes, it’s sure going to be a headache cleaning your car’s floor.
Mercedes floor mats could be the most effective option to keep your car’s floor always squeaky clean. They protect your floor from dirt, mud and any spillage that can cause additional damage to the other parts of your car’s interior.
There are different kinds of floor mats available in the market today. Some are all-weather floor mats designed to protect your car’s floor in all kinds of weather, others are luxurious plush carpeted floor mats, floor mats with deep wells that catch anything your feet drag in, invisible floor mats that let your original look shine through and low profile mats that create a minimalist look.
Most floor mats are either made of rubber or nylon for easy cleaning. However nowadays, different materials are being used to suit the needs of vehicle owners.
Aside from the protection that floor mats provide, they also enhance the appearance of your vehicle’s carpet. Now, vehicle owners have the choice of buying custom-made floor mats for their vehicles. From oriental designs to embroidered cartoon characters, everything is simply available to match your needs.
Other floor mats designs are so functional that they can even be used for as bed liners for truck beds and van floors as well as floor board mats, protecting the surface while at the same time keeping the paint or carpet in plain view.

Some are all-weather floor mats designed to protect your car’s floor in all kinds of weather, others are luxurious plush carpeted floor mats, floor mats with deep wells that catch anything your feet drag in, invisible floor mats that let your original look shine through and low profile mats that create a minimalist look.
Most floor mats are either made of rubber or nylon for easy cleaning. However nowadays, different materials are being used to suit the needs of vehicle owners.
Aside from the protection that floor mats provide, they also enhance the appearance of your vehicle’s carpet. Now, vehicle owners have the choice of buying custom-made floor mats for their vehicles. From oriental designs to embroidered cartoon characters, everything is simply available to match your needs.
Other floor mats designs are so functional that they can even be used for as bed liners for truck beds and van floors as well as floor board mats, protecting the surface while at the same time keeping the paint or carpet in plain view.
But whatever it is that you need — protection or enhanced look, floor mats are the easiest and most inexpensive way to do it.
