[Spridgets] Driveway protection?

[David Woerpel]

Living in Wisconsin we have a problem with salt eating our garage 
floor.  I purchased an "Auto Floor Guard containment mat" (type that in 
your Amazon search) to catch all the drippings so it doesn't flow under 
my LBCs.  Do not see why it couldn't be used under the sports cars and 
it would provide a bit of a vapor barrier between the concrete and car.  
During winter I mop drag it out part way on nice days and hose and mop 
it as well as the floor.  The mat is more expensive but well made.  I've 
had it for 3 seasons now (I roll it up and store it for the summer).  
For the LBCs I use drip trays that are narrower than the wheel track and 
park over them.  Just a thought.

Keep us posted,
