Default Stupid advice of the day

Spin cycles and floor mats don't mix.

So I went shooting with a friend this weekend, more for the drive out there than for the actual shooting. On the way, though, I realized that driving fast with a bunch of guns in the car wasn't probably the brightest thing, so I kept it easy. Smarter thing I did that day.

On the way back, my friend says, "Did you step in something". Great. Turns out there is poo. On his Shoo.

He was a good sport, cleaned out the bits that had touched the actual carpet (it was pretty dried out poo), and took the floor mat in. He's a dad, so he got all Miracle Cleaner on that sh_t. I figured, "fine, good, whatever".

Until I was driving home. Then I realized my new-car smell was now dried-crap smell.

I got home, took the floor mat out, Simple Greened the h3ll out of it, sprayed it for ten minutes with the "jet" setting on the hose, then decided...

...maybe it would be good idea to run it through the washing machine. After all, I didn't want any crap smell in my new car, and the washer should be pretty benign.

Not. A Good. Idea.

Anyone know where to get new right-side floor mat? I figure I'll call the dealer today...
