I spilled a 32oz Coke in my floorboard this morning.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I spilled a 32oz Coke in my floorboard this morning.

Posted: 10/27/2010 8:42:42 AM EDT

So I went back into Hardee's and refilled my cup. Then I drove home and ate my sausage and egg biscuit and hash rounds. Then I went outside, pulled out the rubber floor mat, popped the drain plugs and hosed it out.

Only in a Jeep.

You know in the older Jeeps you don't even have to pull the drain plugs. They are self draining(rust).

So the punch line is that you recommend Jeeps to people who have horrible eating habits like you?

Seriously, 32 ounces of Coke? Why would I do that to myself?

I could go into the details of how I spilled it, but I might bore someone.

Remember when 32 ounce cups were huge? I do. Now that is small compared to some of the monsters you can get. That is a hell of a lot of calories.

Yes, it is suspicious.

The OP is from Tennessee. Why wasn't the beverage Mountain Dew?

Only in the Derp-Derp midwest/east coast where they Salt the damn roads. You have to really try to get rust out here.

They only had Mello Yello, which is a piss poor substitute.

The funny thing is the last Jeep I bought came from Nevada. I got it very cheap over the internet and had it delivered to me in Tucson when I was at Davis-Monthan AFB.

Once it arrived I found out it had a New York title.

Yes, I had to have one of the floor pans cut out and replaced. Never assume just because you are buying a vehicle from a state that the vehicle came from there. Stupid on my part.

It isn't as bad around my area(St Louis) as it used to be. They don't spread as much salt as they used too. They tend to use Salt Brine now instead of just spraying chunks of rock salt everywhere. It still causes problems, but not as much.

When looking at cars here (Nevada & California) I always demand to see where it came from. The dealers out here like to sell cars from the midwest and EC for cheap. Most people falsely assume it came form out here so they ignore looking for rust damage. Cars take a LONG time to rust out here, meaning they don't rust in their usable lifetime, so it is not on peoples minds. I see a Carfax that has anything east of the rockies on it, I pass. They ALWAYS have salt/rust corrosion. One 2008 Tahoe I just looked at was clean, until I started looking at the wheel wells and undercarriage. The fucker had rusted through half the body panels and was working on the moving parts.

Pass.

I learned my lesson. I really didn't get hurt by the deal since it was coming back to the midwest to start rusting anyway.

All winter long when the heater started blowing warm air, that truck smelled soooo good!

You still use floor mats? Line-x that shit and be done with it. Then you can spill all day long, get the garden hose and spray the whole thing, seats dash and all.

Better question is why Coke....Sweet tea is the proper breakfast beverage.

I spilled a freaking large tea in the floorboard of my Typhoon at lunch one day from Wendys. That thing was full to the brim and I had about 1/2 inch of tea just sitting there..........luckily I worked at a RV shop and had a detail department at my command to take care if it.
