Baby, You Can Drive My Car

If cars were clothes, fashion faux pas would be rampant..

Everybody’d be showing up in the same thing (BMW) from the same year (this one, duh) in the same color (silver). The problem? There simply isn’t enough variety to make automobiles a viable fashion statement.

Unless you customize. (And license plates don’t count, “BG GUY1”). The latest: personalized floor mats, the quickest way to put your stamp on any car, from the H2 to the Rav 4. At G.G. Bailey’s Web site, you can choose the mats, specify the color, and pick the word and font you want emblazoned upon them. The obvious choice is a monogram , but if you’ve named your PT Cruiser “Dottie” (shout out to our zany aunt!), you might consider that.

Either way, the mats add preppy flair to your otherwise unoriginal vehicle. And free you up in worry about all the other areas in your life where it pays to strive for uniqueness.

Like, say, your personality.
