for starters my name is Mandy and i just bought my very first new car 2 weeks ago, a 2006 Saturn Ion Coupe (heres the pic)

I fell deeply inlove with my new Ion, Well anyways this last friday my
brother calls me up and said come on over so we can hang out and so i
can see your new car, well we decide to go fishing and he ends up
getting a bit toasted, well anyways long story short he ends up
forgeting somthing in my new car, his bait!!!!! shrimp!!!! in a little
baggie, well i didnt know it was there untill i go out to my car sunday
night to get somthing from the trunk well you can just emagine the god
awful smell in trunk, the bag had broke and about 2 drops of decaying
shrimp goo leeked out onto my brand new trunk liner, i tried EVERYTHING
and all it did was made it worse! so removed the trunk liner and
sprayed the car down with fabreze and no more smell thank god but I had
to buy a new trunk liner to the tune of 169.00. but my new car is once
again perfect. I hope you all get laughs from this because now i can
laugh about it too, and hopfuly a lesson has be made,lol never go
fishing with your brother when he is drinking!!!! lol



sincerely,

Mandy

i got quite a laugh out of it. i wad dating a girl a few years back, and we put a gas can in her grandmothers trunk, and a little leaked out, and evidently the truck STILL smells like gas..





that was in 2001!

my bestfriend had that same thing happen with gas too lol thats got to suck

it wasnt even very much...my idea was to keep an extinguisher handy, and light the fumes..lol
