    Everyone knows that anything that smells good, tastes good, or makes you feel good is bad for you.........:lol:

    Amazing we ever survived childhood and everything else "they" tell is toxic, bad for us, unhealthy, etc. While I appreciate making things safer, I get weary of the "latest reports..."

    Interestingly enough, none of the big V in my car for me. Now there was a fair share on the outside of the doors every now and again.... :lol:

    Unfortunately, though, I did have an old flame who was unable to hold her liquid one night. But that wasn't enough to be a deal breaker. :eek:

    It left during my MINI's many summers sitting in the parking lot waiting for me to get off work with it's sun roof open at half tilt. The remaining odor was dissipated by rocketing down the road with the windows down and the sun roof wide open.
    The smell is gone.

    Hope that helps.........

    I agree with Scott. I think I'll become a car salesman so I can breathe it all day, every day. :beer

    In days gone by, and maybe this should be written under the "Older Than Dirt" thread, but the morning after was always interesting after all the beer had been spilled in the car the night before.......:beer
