Didn't know they did that anymore. My TrailBlazer didn't and neither do my Tahoes.

Don't want to upset anybody but, come on!
Turning mats upside down so you don't get them dirty? ?????????
Go out find the nearest mud hole and get the whole thing caked in it, its what they're made for.

Not so sure I agree with this. Jeep's are made for muddin', Tahoe's are made for road trips, towing, and anything else in between (a little bit of camping too). I put towels down over the tops of my floor mats. These things are paper thin and are going to wear out in a few months if you don't take care of them. By the way, I used to own a '03 Jeep Rubicon and I wouldn't dream of taking the Tahoe into some of the mud holes I took that baby.

The factory mats are so crappy that I use them in the winter to protect my Lloyd's mats.

You got that right. Most factory mats look like they are made from carpet remnants and will not hold up to average use.

One of the first thinga I do when I purchase a new vehicle is put the factory mats in a box and go buy some huskyliners. THen when I trade her in I out the factory mats back in and its lloks great because they are still new.

Default Chevy g20 takes off in reverse due to stuck gas pedal

I was leaving someone's house and I put the gear into reverse in my Chevy G20 van just took off. No matter how hard I pressed the brakes, the Van would not stop. I had to throw it in park in a attempt to stop it.

maybe turn the key off

this multiple mat thing that spurred a massive Toyota recall. engineering had to protect people from themselves. now if the vehicle detects a depressed accelerator and brake pedal...the electronic throttle is programmed to close
