Still to this day, I'll open my glovebox or release another trapped pocket of air and relive it all over again. I fear that it will never fully leave. I may have to sell the car and buy another. Anyone interested?

Now that is funny!

On a serious note...does anyone know any cleaner or air freshener that actually smells like a new car?

Brutal and fart in the same sentence. That could not have been good!

2010SLVRBULIT · 08-16-2011, 07:47 PM

Taking a bath before riding.

Still smells new, 3 months old. Also have a 93 Eldo that still smells new--no smokes no food,no farting, sex occasionally.

rachykells · 08-16-2011, 07:56 PM

2 months or so of ownership and still smelling new. Not AS strong as when I first brought the car home, but that's probably because I roll around with the windows down a LOT.

PAUL SS · 08-16-2011, 08:06 PM

Two years old last Friday and my wife says "When will that new car smell go away?"

Ironheadspearo · 08-16-2011, 08:36 PM

14k still smells new

Camarowguy · 08-16-2011, 10:09 PM

I wonder why the new smell stays with this car so long? I think it's awesome really, I always liked the smell. I drive my car 85% of the time, but if I drive my truck for a couple days and get in the car the next morning...I'm like ahhhh..lol. I get used to it driving it a few days in a row and no longer smell it. But like said before...let it sit a couple days....voilà! Smells new again. Thought I was going crazy! Never had a new car smell last this long so that's the reason for this thread. And to see if I'm crazy for forbidding farting in it!! Lmao!
