Why on earth do we carpet floorboards?

The rubber mat if it gets water under it will rot your floor and/or cause mold. Carpet is porous enough that it will allow the floor to dry out.

Good post.
Every old vehicle i have seen has a rusty floor if it had factory rubber floor covering instead of carpet.
Rubber flooring keeps the moisture in and traps it causing rust. :wack:
I hate them!
