> [@tpgsr](#): > > Made it look all shitty with salt. +1. One day this winter my ebrake stuck on for about 10 feet on one of those day where it went from 50 degrees and rain to 10 degrees in about 3 hours but it’s been fine since. I may need to buy a 2nd set of floor mats because these are looking pretty bad. Not sure even the pressure washer is going to bring them back this time. ---
