My car stinks!
I swapped my wife cars yesterday so I could change the oil in it after work. Yesterday morning on her way to work she hit a skunk with my car. No physical damage to the car but wow! I cant believe how bad it smells. Needles to say I smelt like skunk when I got to work today. I think just about everyone there told me I stink today. Does anyone know how to get the smell out? and no I'm not going to wash my car in tomato juice haha.
Time! A skunk sprayed right next to my house a few months ago and after a week I couldn't really notice it. But trying to sleep with that....what a nightmare.

I was running to an electrical supply store for work today. I was on a 4 lane divided bypass and as a garbage truck passes me going the other direction I hear BOOOOM!
Rear tire exploded on the garbage truck. Scared the crap out of me. I could only imagine what the car directly to the left of the truck thought as it was engulfed in smoke. LOL
been the driver of a garbage truck when a rear tire blows out, sounds like a shotgun blast. will make you jump lol
Was behind a semi on the interstate before when a tire blew out and hit the windshield a few years back. Glad I wasn't driving.
A couple weeks? fvck!, well I guess I'll let the wife drive it for a while.Quote:

My wife hit a skunk with her van. I took it to the car wash and got an undercarriage flush. That helped quite a bit, but time is really the only thing that will get rid of it completely. Oh - a word of advice...whatever you do, do NOT put the car in the garage and close the garage door...Made that mistake, and when I went opened the door from the house to the garage the next morning, it was like walking into a wall of stankiness...Quote:

Overly huge oil pan that won't clear crossmember, hope replacement drops in but have a feeling it's going to have to be forced in. End rant, moral is I have a rather large hate for those now.

Decommissioned a residential boiler today. That meant sawsall to the pipes after it was drained. Black sludge. Everywhere. Doesn't smell just stains anything it touches. I believe there's more of that In store for tomorrow so I washed today's clothes and will wear tomorrow. Last day in residential world. Monday move onto bigger things! Literally!
I would definitely go thru the wash with an undercarriage blast.Quote:

They are having a sale through the end on 7/26, so tomorrow lol. Figure I'd just spread the word, they have some cool shirts, its a smaller company and its nice to help the little guy out.
Odd...I'd look it up on the internet..if you can nearly desmell a dog.. surely a car isn't bad.
Got to watch the crop duster plane at work today. That was a neat experience. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/27/eba4a5u2.jpg
Sorry for my finger being in the way.
I crop dust at work pretty much every day.
