Mine has exterior carpet. I hate it. I want to shag

. Actually, I'd love to get rid of it because fibers and dust always fall from it and get in my eyes; but I fear it's there for a purpose. Asborb condensation? Warm & fuzzy feel on cold mornings? What? Please tell me why I shouldn't strip the carpet, scrape and strip the glue (some looks like carpet cement but most looks like Liquid Nails) and paint it -- you know, white or sky blue with glow-in-the-dark, moons, stars, and blue-fin tuna stickers up there...
