Just think - people like this have the same license and “privilege” to use the roads as we do.

People like this vote too. Often multiple times...

Meh... I used to do that on my 1971 FJ40 Land Cruiser after a day of playing in the mud. Open both doors, the tailgates, and the window above them and let 'er rip with the high pressure car wash hose. As often as not I left my dog in there and hosed him down as well. I had punched multiple drain holes in the floor. Worked great.

And the second amendment applies to them too.

Our 1969 Ford Station Wagon had vinyl seats and hard floors (not carpet). It would have been fine.

I always thought it was funny, that if you had a car with carpets, you put down vinyl floor mats. And if you had solid floors, you put "carpet" mats.

One of the women I used to work with grew up on a rural farm. Her dad would got to the dealership and order the most stripped down pickup possible, and would even order them without a radio, air conditioner, or even carpets. He would pull the vinyl floor mats out and with wind up windows, manual door locks that were never used, he would have a hired hand hose it off inside and out regularly. It would get caked in mud and dirt and manure in short order. A 100% real farm truck.

We had a 68 Country Squire. The amount of hours I spent in the "way-back" driving up 101 to San Fran to see the relatives...all the luggage was on the shelf between me and the rest of the family.

I should have taken the hint

Jeeps still have drain plugs in the floor. I’ve always wanted to get a super basic one, install waterproof seat covers, then pull the carpets and Rhinoline the floor. Top off and it rains? Who cares!

Well, if her old man and his buds were pounding 40's and puked in the car the night before, this might be the best option.

Uh huh, another rich kid who enjoyed life and road trips in a faux wood-grained, air-conditioned Squire while my five siblings and I suffered in the austere confines of a Country Sedan.

Yeah, ours was a Country Sedan, not the LTD.

The LTD came in 1977 and was Burgundy

Would have been less work just to drive through the car wash with the windows open

I never knew of a farm truck that ever got wasted inside or out - ever.
