Lol, just messin with ya

Looks like a good product. In the end, as long as it preserves your carpet and makes it easier to clean, its a good buy.

Lol. Hills suck with the Yaris. Hahaha. Doubt it'll be any fast on a track either.

I have those 3D Maxpider mats, too: http://amzn.to/2lpxQkz
They're thinner than the WeatherTecs. They fit really nicely, and are easy to clean up. Have had 'em almost 2 years.

The only thing I didn't like about them was the shiny logo. So I just pulled off the logo with a pair of pliers. There's a pretty small hole where the logo used to be, but I'd rather have that than a logo.

Those mats are better than Weathertecs... lol they are thinner but fits like a glove. My fiance has it for her CT and it's one of the best things she bought for the car.

6:30 AM, raining and neither of the two cars in line ahead of me to get on 580 have any lights on. Its a miracle we're not all dead.

Californias lose their shit when it rains. I have a miniplan to the local hockey team and forgot I couldnt go to a game but didnt change the tickets so they sat at will call uncollected. On Monday after the game my ticket rep calls to make sure I was OK since it was raining hard that night and "Californians have no clue what to do when it sprinkles even" so she wanted to make sure nothing happened since i didn't pick up my tickets.

Damn that's a good ticket rep. Guess that's how it is when you have season tickets with a smaller team.

On my way to work yesterday morning (4:00)am and I had people passing me and swapping through lanes at 80 plus mph in the stormy weather.

Ya, I always thought bay area drivers are bad, but central valley drivers are worse imho. They are so used to flying at 85+mph on the freeway, they do it no matter what the conditions are. This morning, I was cruising at 70 mph in the middle lane due to really bad spray from big rigs and I get buzzed on either side by two SUVs going 80+mph. Or I'm just a grumpy old man... GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

PandaBRZ · 02-17-2017, 01:17 PM

Having just driven across Massachusetts, I can confirm that bay area drivers are more aggressive but just as clueless about headlights as people from the east coast.

Yeah, and I dont even have season tix. Usually just a 12 game plan but have had it for a few years even when attendance plummeted so they have always been super nice. The best part is the last three years they "mistakenly" have sent me seats to a better section then what I paid.

Weird, it shows as a broken link on my phone, but it shows up correctly on my computer.

I'll try to attach it:
