Default The next ridiculous thread!!

In keeping with all the other bizarro threads about "how much air to put in your tires", to "what kind of gas to use" to "how much oil my car holds"...
I propose, what kind of air freshner do you all prefer?

An interesting commentary on some of the recent posts , but I don't think I will "play" in this one.

No air freshener here I keep the interior clean and the seats clean with my zaino leather care products. The interior smells brand new :-)
P.S. I hate the smell of air fresheners

My air freshener of choice is exhaust fumes through my ac vents. If I stop at a light long enough I'll catch a buzz

Seriously don't know what's up with that? Possibly due to no cats/mufflers on a 383.

The luxurious, rich aroma of the finest leather. Hit the road with fragrance ... keep your car smelling great inside with this authentic, true-to-life Yankee® scent. Try it in small spaces as well, like office cubicles, closets and more.

I enjoy the smell of my LS1's exhaust through my American Racing headers and my Borla Stingers.

On the topic of air in cabin... I did a google on desiccants and found a 10.5oz of "Damp Rid" at Walgreens for $2.79.

I purchased a jar this morning and stuck in a sealed bag as seen below to compare the humidity reading with my open garage.

Currently it is raining outside so my open garage reading is a bit high.

BTW, those small Holmes meters can be had from Sears for $5... we keep one in our bedroom thru the winter months & I'll keep one on the dash after I place the jar on the floorboard.

The jar is good for 45 days or so and will completely dissolve the crystals. At that time, you simply throw out the small amount of water in the bottom & refill.
