Talking what's on your floor?(EDITED)

Guys I'm talking about the floor of my car, not the floor of my garage. Sorry about the mis understanding. I presently have carpet and very thick padding on the floor. In fact carpet every where except the doors and seats. Live in a hot and humid climate, mold in the carpet isn;t fun. Any suggestions?

I keep my cobra in a car capsule (see attached pic), the capsule has a small fan that keeps it inflated and is also supposed to keep any moisture out. Once the car is placed inside the capsule it takes approx. 5 minutes to inflate.

usually oil, anti-freeze, and the dreaded brake fluid

Default Floor covering-Cobra style

I have a 16 foot diameter image of the Cobra logo painted onto the concrete floor. Looks pretty cool, if I do say so myself

Carpet without padding shouldn't be the moisture and mold magnet that you currently have.

I have carpet and padding on my floor and we have lots of rain in the Winter and it is hot in the Summer. We just went from pouring rain 3 days ago to over 100 yesterday and I have never had any moisture or anything in mine. I keep it parked in the garage but take no special precautions and the carpet has been in since 1997 and still looks good. A little faded from being out in the sun and driving but no dampness or mold.
