Funny isn't it. I think it's because sometimes dashboards can crack when the car gets really hot, so the carpet is there to stop that. Looks shit though

I'm going to put artificial grass on mine. I've got a flower sitting up there now, so some grass should look lovely.

Crack your dash and you will know how expensive it is


Good time to also warn people about not leaving animals or children in the car - even for a moment with the windows up.

It's not really an Aussie thing, I think you'll find that most normal people would consider it a pretty 'bogan' thing to do.

I've just never seen carpet in the inner cities, only when I've been out to the country towns.
