Actually, I’ve been advised of the
opposite. It is a bad idea to have carpet underneath the car, as it soaks up
oil and other fluids, and acts as a convenient wick to set your car on fire
with the slightest spark. There are several carpet-like, felt-type pads which
absorb the oil, keep down the moisture, and are fire resistant. Griot’s
Garage sells them I believe. My in-laws use them under their cars. They weren’t
ver y expensive if I recall.

You may not want to carpet the whole garage, but its not a
bad idea to have a piece of old carpet under your Forward Look vehicle(s). It
will trap humidity sweating from the concrete on the concrete instead of
allowing it to circulate (and potentially decay) the underside of the car.

floor paint
I painted my car port floor and used the premium paint made
for concrete floors as sold by ACE hardware. The key is making sure the
floor is clean and free of grease. In my case I own a pressure washer and gave
it a real good cleaning before applying the paint. I read recently where
a lady had her garage carpeted and said it kept down the dust and dirt and she
could go out to the garage barefoot.
