The smell of freedom

By ThatNewCarSmell - 01/10/2014 16:53 - United States - Carlsbad

Today, I held my bag of burger and fries out the window while driving, to preserve that new car smell. Not only did I hit a pothole and lose my lunch, I got pulled over by a cop who suspected I was either littering or tossing drugs when I saw him. FML

Why didn't you just open all the windows? It wouldn't smell that bad..

That's probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You definitely deserved it if you were the driver because that's just dangerous.

For future reference, that "new car smell" comes in a spray bottle and can be re-applied when you get the interior of your car detailed.

is it just me, or do they never actually smell like "new car?" -the ones in the bottle, not from the detailer.

Definitely a YDI. On so many levels. Why not put it in your trunk if you're so concerned about smell? That way it wouldn't be cold when you got home, either. The scent of food fades much quicker than that new car smell, trust me. I understand why you're concerned with the smell, I enjoy it myself. But it's going to fade eventually. Enjoy it while you can, but don't go so far out of your way to preserve it, or you risk things like this. p.s.- as someone who had previously worked in food service, I sincerely hope you weren't going to go home, find your food cold from hanging it out the window, then call whatever establishment you came from and complain about the cold food. Because those are the worst kind of people.

I am 100% sure they make air fresheners with the "new car" smell.

the new car smell comes in a spray can. i work in a new car dealership and we spray it in cars when they arrive at the store, and when we sell it.
