    another thing to try is throwing some baking soda around on the carpets, leave the car overnight and vacuum it up.

    vanilla will leave the car smelling like vanilla, and the constant urge to buy stuff you dont need

    LOL - I love vanilla, it's my favorite flavour (is it a flavour or is it meant to mean no flavour?)
