Got in my car this morning...

...and it stinks. What air fresheners do you guys use, and what do they smell like?

find out what's making the car smell before you try to cover the odor. Open the glove box, take off the shock on the right side... take off the glove box, open the door to the cabin air filter.

If your filter is dirty or has stuff on it you can try to just blow it clean.. but i would recommend http://www.finishlineperformance.com...cat=273&page=1

it's the upgraded version of the stock cabin airfliter

if the car smells of "gas" the next day then you have a bigger issue that maybe a doctor could help you with.

Leroy and Mel, 2 old men, were walking down the street one day.
Leroy sniffs the air."Hey Mel, did you **** in your pants?"
Mel glares at him "Hell no I didn't **** my pants."
So they keep walking but Leroy keeps smelling the **** smell. "Mel, are you SURE you didn't **** your pants?"
"Damnit Leroy! I didn't **** my pants!" Mel insists, but the smell keeps getting worse.
Finally Leroy yanks down Mel's pants and sure enough, he's **** in them.
"Mel! you said you didn't **** your pants!"

"Well I thought you meant today!"

I don't use any air fresheners in my car, but I find oust works on getting the smell of weed out of an apartment pretty well. In my old accord, I'd regularly dump a can of lysol down the fresh air intake for the HVAC system to kill the 10 years worth of mold growing in there. Worked too as long as you didn't mind doing every month.

I don't like artificial smells in my car... you might try taking a box of baking soda, pouring it into a pie tin and leaving the tin in your car over night to absorb some of the odor.

Quick fartin' in your car right before you park. Those farts are sealed up all night... probably permeated every carpet and fabric in there. I'm surprised your headliner hasnt started to peel off.

The baking soda comes in a plastic bottle and fits in the cup holders. Just pop the orange lids off.

use fresh coffee grounds and fresh orange peels to absorb the smell.
