Re: Leak....argh

["Zach Vrooman" <zach@discover-net.net>]

A good cheap way to kill smells is to just burn a book of matches inside the
car. I read this somewhere, and it does work. I use this method all the time
cause I'm too cheap to buy a can of Glade. The way I understand it is that
the sulphur burnt off neutralizes the bad smell. I could be wrong, but give
it a try.
