.. just to lose weight of the car and get more lighter..?

It's not a must equipment and the floor looks just as nice without it..

and on the cleaning issue, people use vacuum machines so it's not a problem..

I figure it could become unneccessary weight to some people, along with other things, if you are dieting the car/

Oh I did that. I also don't wear underwear, socks or put on deodorant when I drive. It's also why I shaved my head (and other more private areas, as well). Saves LOTS of weight.

This sounds like our old friend redwhiteblue, who of course, was banned 7 times on this forum under multiple names. Hahahaha!

Sorry, couldn't resist. He used to write about stuff like this when it came to shedding weight on his car.

PS - I drive naked to help my car go faster.

You surely can vacuum the carpet, but a vacuum doesn't work well on wet mud.

It's a luxury car.

While you are at it... just rip out the carpet too! That will save even more weight.

I did all that plus I starve for days before I drive. I haven't eaten for 2 days now, I guess I have nothing to shit today and I can drive tomorrow.
