I've discovered an AMAZING feature of my car!

30 year old carpet doesn't clean - it just endlessly pukes grime and dirt into the carpet cleaning machine. Those German's are just amazing - infinite gunk storage in a material 1/4 inch thick! We should line our landfills with factory Porsche carpet.



Guess I have a new project once my wallet recovers from the sport seats - the rest of the interior! Woo-hoo!

"line our landfills" heh-heh
It does start out light.
When I was pricing some interior materials at the local supplier, I asked about the OEM carpet. The guy said " I don't know why a Porsche would use that light-weight stuff." I'm guessing he drove a truck.

Actually in landfills they use a permeable geotechnical fabric with double leachate collection system. Similar to german weave!!

Hmmm... Same properties...

Is it cheaper than German carpet sets?
