Yo Dude...
Listen...what bugs you the smell, or your other half yelling at you it smells. If it just the GF, she is yelling "attention Please". My Ex changed after I gave her her very own Porsche cup holder, the odd smells and noises went down a couple of notches...Funny I gave my new GF the same thing... Its a old car, you will need to check a few perfumes, they need to match with your personal stink, the car, not you, to cover the odor. I use a product called "Odor Knox" from Wynns or ProProd, smells kinda like bouble gum but it does a good job of blending with the ...smell. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) This and a "New Porsche Cup Holder" did it for me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Of course you have to check out all the other stuff listed before...make sure its not coming in from somewhere. Wish you luck Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
