Smoking in your vehicle

[ucubed]

I know...but I still have that new car smell and I don't want to use chemicals quite yet...I take care of the leather interior =P...it's not a big deal, I can wait what the half hour drive back home to smoke...and those endeavor from Gainesville to Orlando I prefer not to have the windows open at 90MPH

quit smoking Labrador

Excellent info Mark.

Yep sounded good to me - I have a 35 min jaunt to work so why not enjoy a smoke with my coffee on the way in? All was going great for the first 20 min or so .... coffee tasted better, smoke was nice, radio was entertaining .... oops .... f'ing ash all over my white shirt. Lesson learned, can't smoke the same same I do outta the 4 wheeled cage. Gotta dump that ash out the window son!

PS. It looked worse then it was, most blew away once I arrived.

Great ideas there Mark - I am fortunate in that not many people other than the GF ride with me but I do keep a bottle of Febreeze in the car just to keep our relationship in harmony...

You gotta spray some of it once in awhile, Vin, just having it under the seat won't work.

Normally it's not a problem since the wife rarely uses my car. I did leave a cigar butt in the ashtray when I was running late for class and I parked in the sun. Stunk to high heaven. Sprayed the seats with febreeze and put a couple of boxes of baking soda in the car. Now the wife has no idea that the car has been smoked in and a friend commented that it smelled "like a car," which I guess is encouraging.

LOL!

Great tips because I find myself smoking more in my vehicle that ever and since it is new I want to keep it smelling good...for my wife that is.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tips Mark. I already have the rain guards so this will be an easy project for me.

I use one of those car ionizers that you plug into the cigarette lighter... it is similar to the Csonka smoker cloaker. It works well, but you do need to augment it with the fabreeze and other treatments.

Very cool, I do the same in my truck...it's just a 2 seater s-10 SS..yes... SUPER SPORT!!! Anyways.... those rain guards rule, found the same about having the air on the feet on high, if you look at the smoke it will circulate through the cabin if it's on the face level, but on feet it sucks it out of the window almost immediately, even when at a stop light. I have had the bastage ash on me a few times, but hell, you take risks smoking in there....and yea...when you go to change the radio station, make sure to keep the lit end away from the display...or you might end up with some fancy designs on it, I read something about plastic not liking hot embers. I usually just keep 2-3 air fresheners in there, but gonna look into some suggestions here as well.
