Not sure parking your cars on carpet is a good idea. Can be a bit of a fire hazard, and carpet doesn't like petroleum products as a rule.

Same here. She has spent a total of 20 minutes in it in the 3 years since I bought it. Most of that time was spent complaining. She thinks I will get run over by a truck some day.

I feel for you. I'm pretty sure MomHawk would take my car to replace her Mustang. She loves riding and driving in it. In fact, for her upcoming birthday she wants to take a road trip in the FR-S to the North Carolina/Georgia mountains.

Yea, she's a keeper.
