[Miata] Gum on floor mats

[Larry Alster]

Wow

Great solution!!!

I'll need to remember that one.

Would it work if you got gum on the couch??  Put it in the back of the 
trailer with a Miata and tow it to the Gap??  Leave the couch sitting in the 
parking lot while you run the Gap in the Miata and come back and the gum 
will be gone, right??  Or maybe the whole couch would be gone, solving the 
problem too.
