Sam's Club snap-together tile pictures

I decided to order the Sam's Club garage tile to cover the 36 grit sandpaper that was posing as my garage floor. I ordered it Saturday night and it arrived on Tuesday. I was off today so I decided to tackle the job. I've got a ton of organizing to do, as you can see (after I get through with the engine install on my Cobra), but I wanted to get the floor down first. I've been tolerating that super rough floor for three years and couldn't take it another day! Anyway, here are a couple of pictures that I took after I moved stuff in from the driveway. Other than the red not being a consistent color (very slight difference) from box to box, I'm very pleased. Let me know if you have any questions.

I had to trim about 1" off 1 side. I cut them with a circular saw, but I think that you could cut them with just about any kind of saw.
 
Looks pretty good. I looked at the website (Sams) and didn't see the red ones listed. Were they from Sams too, or elsewhere? Hope you will keep us posted on how they hold up.

What's the deal with them, are they supposed to be waterproof? What happens if you drive a wet car in there in the rain, or want to hose the floor down? Does it run under? What happens then? Up here you put the car in the garage in the snow, and the salty slush winds up on the floor and plays havoc with the concrete (at least I think that's the problem).
 
I had 323 sq. feet to cover, but had to buy 8 boxes of 45 tiles (360 sq. ft.) which was a little over $600 including tax and shipping. I see that the red ones are not listed now, but some of the colors that are listed now weren't available when I ordered mine. I guess it depends on what they have in stock at the time.
 
How's the seal between tiles?? I would love to have a decent floor in my small garage but I haven't done it in fear of oil spills, coolant, etc.
 
How is it for working under a car, using a floor jack, etc? I see I could do my garage for a bit over $1300 (960 sq ft, Im leaving the 11x20 shop area as bare concrete), which is good compared to many alternatives.
 
Looks great! I wonder if you can pick up the tile and save on shipping? Alao, I work in Texas City @ BP.
