They had carpeted their garage, but had cut out a section where the car would be sitting. I don't know if they did it because they didn't want to get it dirty, or if it is a fire hazard. Well, what do ya all think?
Another option for you would be to check with your insurance company! I think I know what they will say, but maybe you should hear it for youtself,since its your money!

I'd be inclined to cut out the carpet section were the car sits and paint that section with a good garage floor paint.
