i can't remember the brand name, or the smell, lol. but i got it at walmart for like $4. supposed to last about 3 months. nothign like those dangling cheesy pine tree fresheners. this is one of those gel ones. comes in a small plastic container, with vents on the top. It fit perfectly inside one of the cup holders, so i didn't have to use the nasty double sided tape that would ruin my dash. smells great. sorry i dont have a link to it, i tried finding it on walmart.com (no auto section)

just following up on my first post:

i put my air freshener in here:

http://nelson.sfs.poly.edu/tc/cup_holder.jpg

and i use one because I HATE THAT NEW CAR SMELL. i would prefer if my car smelled like NOTHING at all, but since i can't ever have that (installed cabin filter w/ active carcoal already) ill use my air freshener. its not over powering or anything. nice and subtle.

They can never effectively reproduce "new car" smell because the real new car smell isn't some fruity crap, it's glue! And new plastic and carpeting and upholstery, mmm mmm! That's why most people like the smell, you're addicted to it, lol.

^^~~ "free" appeals to you, too, huh? haha, yup, my brother had some extra accessory stuff sitting around `cause he ordered extras, so he gave me the air spencer (he didn`t have anymore squash) and my broadway.

CatalepsicFox
12-11-2005, 04:27 AM
^ haha oh wellz. I want a new scent ever since my little brother and little sister started eating in my car. That "new car" smell is far from gone. I always goto the chinatown in my area tons of japanese air freshiners I need to check out what they have. I hope they have that "squash" smell I never hinted that before.

Japantown in SF also has some really interesting air freshiners, funky designs.

I have one that looks like a foot. Its blue so it matches my Indiglo Ink TC perfect and smells awesome too. I get them from walmart...for like 2 bucks and it lasts for months.

Lost my new car smell after 3 or 4 months...

Anyways, still don't use any air freshner...but if I would, I'd want it to smell like Opium...none of that piney or fruity crap.

Squash...i wouldn't say it smells like sprite.
it does has a fresh lime type smell.
just get it, it's worth it.

they come in a chalk like stick.
so they'll last pretty long.

i used Yankee Candle's Clean Cotton,
that smelt good and all,
but didn't last for anything.

Yup, same here, FEBREEZE FOR AUTO though, the regular febreze I dont like.

I bought leather seats - they don't smell like Sprite®
I like the new car smell, then later on, something kinda spicy is cool.
Did you get the car Fabreeze® in an auto-parts store or the market?

If you use the in-cabin air filter (it's behind the glovebox)...then you could do what I do.

In the air-filters aisle of any local supermarket, they make these scented inserts that attach to air-filters for use in your home. I bought one of those and used it with the in-cabin air filter of my Scion. Everytime I turn on the air conditioning, you get blasted with vanilla. Lasts for a decent amount of time too.

And if you don't use the in-cabin air filter...then you should. I was surprised at how much crap I found in that thing the first time I changed it.

****EDIT: DANG MODS HAD TO MOVE THIS TO A FORUM THAT I CANNOT POST TO...SO THE ONLY WAY I CAN REPLY IS TO EDIT WHAT I ALREADY POSTED. I AM REPLYING TO THE NEXT POST BELOW. THANK YOU*********

I'm not so sure...why would they sell the tC without one? People have said that it might cause problems...I have to find out more on this.

Is your post referring to my post about the in-cabin air filter? I haven't heard anything bad at all about it...and nor have I experienced anything bad. It's just a filter for your air conditioner...I'm not sure what harm could come of it. In some places it's actually advertised as a 'feature' of your car.

And all Toyotas come with the in-cabin air filter SLOT, but not the actual filter. I checked my friends' Celica and sure enough she had the filter slot behind her glove compartment.

And finally, Toyota doesn't give you a filter (unless you happen to have a really nice dealer) because they can rape you another $25 for the official Toyota-brand one if you ask for one. (but the other point here is that Toyota actually has a filter they can sell you...meaning there is a part number...meaning this is something that was meant to be used. I don't think they'd do that if would end up wrecking yer car).
