Permacrud is the irremovable layer of filth ground into the carpeting and/or floorboards of a hooptie. It is usually comprised of crumbs of
food, trash, rust, dirt,
mud, spilled
beer, tobacco, weed, and various types of "mold". This is the layer below the
beer cans, snack bags, and cigarette butts.
Permacrud is formed over a
period of years, appearing as vehicle "matures" into a hooptie. It takes years of neglect, regular intervals of pressure from passengers' footwear, and exposure to seasonal temperature changes for permacrud to form.
Once formed, permacrud cannot be removed without removing the carpeting and/or floorboards.
My old lady: "I thought you cleaned this piece of

Me: "I did! Do you see any any
beer cans or McDonald's bags anywhere?"
My old lady: "EWWW it's gross!"
Me: "It's just permacrud. Get in the
fucking car and and work the blinker for me would ya?"
