I have seen people here who drive around with towels on the floor so as to not get their carpets dirty. That's ridiculous. Now, I keep dirt off them as much as i can...but there are dark spots where my feet always are...I think one has a cigarette burn, and i even spilled a whole milkshake on the floor once. I'm not going to coat my car in plastic and stuff to keep it super clean. It's 7 years old, and after all - it's only a car.
Maybe if it were a DB9 or something

If you want to see "dirty" interiors, just look at the shift knob thread.

My carpet got iced tea in it last week.
But then I gutted the interior and cleaned it, so my carpet is nice again.

Mine from a month or so back. I haven't cleaned it in a while- but if you get it up to speed and just touch up on it here and there, life becomes a lot easier.   Yes, that is a muffler and a tripod in the backseat

Dang it, I just vacummed mine the other day. It was pretty bad (can be found in previous posts of mine in this section). My carpet still isn't great, but can probably be cleaned up with some hard scrubbing. And I think if I get the svt floor mats cleaned up, it'll be looking pretty good.

One thing I try to do is to keep my interior as clean as possible. I think I have a great interior for a daily driver '99 tour. I think it should be clean cause I am spending time in it. I give people rides and I always get comments on how clean the inside of my car looks and smells.It comes down to just being clean.

It really doesn't take much at all to have a clean interior. If your careful not to make a mess, and just vacuum every month or so, it's easy.
It's when you get lazy and spill without cleaning it, drag in dirt because you didn't shake off your muddy shoes, etc, that you don't feel like cleaning it because it's obviously more work than just a quick vacuum.
I get comments all the time on my interior. Everyone thinks my car is at least a 2003+ if they don't know about the car. I hate driving in a car with a dirty and smelly interior. I want to be comfortable when I drive, and not have to battle garbage to get into the car or to try and find something on the floor.

Mine is a daily driver (hopefully changing sometime in the future...), but I try not to spill things. I can stand being messy (bottles/paper/etc), but I can't stand it being stained. I do a full interior detail every month or so, comes out very nice... my girl hates it when I clean the seats  She says she will never own a car with leather...

Todd likes our backseat cleanliness. He told me so in a drunken stupor.   I love a clean car. I love hopping into it and having it smell as new as when they rolled it off the truck at the dealership. I especially love when car show judges notice that new car smell.  sometimes I like sitting in people's dirty cars though. It's fun to rummage through their junk and learn things about them. Same with messy rooms.
