SWMBO got me the front mats for the Crosstrek, they arrived yesterday (about 2wks early for b'day).  I'm really happy with them, and know they aren't cheap.  Told her not to bother with the back ones, I rarely flip the seats up let alone have anyone using the seats.

I still have the Subaru seatback protector for the backseats folded down.  I spend WAY more time hauling my dog and/or 50gal Husky costume bins than human beings.

Although she got me a crockpot years ago, that made me pretty happy as well.

If that's the sign, I guess I became an adult last year! I got some checkerboard-styled replacement mats for the FD and was elated.

Those WeatherTechs are bitchin'. I've had a set in all three rows of our towbeast for years and have been very happy with them.

One of the many signs.

I started asking for socks as xmas presents like 5 years ago.  That's when I knew I was old.

Just got a new to me car, and I am going to get a set of Weathertech floor mats, the carpet is black and the black carpet floor mats look real cheap, real thin, and being black they show dirt easily.

I also realized today that this car, or any car, needs a cargo net of some kind.

Look at it as a good thing.

You have reached a point in life where it's the little things that can bring you joy, and you've moved beyond the point of needing big gestures to make you happy.

Oh yeah, back to the floor liners...

I really like the weather tech floor liners in my Elantra, and I'm planning to order a set of weather tech front, rear and cargo liner for our new Sportage.

Weathertech floor mats are a great gift!  I really should replace the crappy GM parts with Weathertech mats in my Colorado.

I put Weathertechs in my E36 last year. When I take the car surfing they keep the sand/water contained. I love em!

I'm the weirdo who's been asking for socks and underwear since I was like 10 so I'm a bit lost on the getting old part.

Sign of some adulthood (floor mats) but not all adulthood.

Yay, glad to see others so enamored with quality floor mats. Yes, totally makes a difference.
