Many, many years ago after Christmas a drug or variety store was selling off their leftover Christmas theme tablecloths something like "was $6.59 now $.25 each". I bought a dozen. I still have several I've never unpackaged yet. A couple stay in my car and protect it from many ills ranging from an incontinent 86 year old to muddy mountain bikes or slushy skis in the back of the minivan to me when I'm all wet after kayaking or windsurfing. They are fuzzy white on one side and are vinyl, white with a red poinsettia pattern, on the other. I have also used them to protect me and my gear as picnic cloths and folded as a ground cloth under a solo air mattress tent on many trips, including thorny Baja, and for laying in the snow and slush putting on or taking off chains. I've probably gotten more use out of that $3.00 than any other $3.00 I've ever spent. Hey, they should work with side air bags too. Did I mention the great poinsettia pattern? Outdoor sex? Christmas in July.
