What's that smell?
In the last few days, a strange smell has started to emanate from inside my car. I can’t figure out what it is. Unfortunately it’s not strange as in odd, like “Why does it smell like hot dogs in here?” It smells more like something is starting to decay in there, like turning moldy or something. At first I thought maybe it was my gym bag. Yeah, ew, I know. But when I opened my trunk, it smelled really clean in there, not like a locker room at all. So it has to be something in the cab of the car.
The car is only 7 years old, so it shouldn’t be acquiring that “old car smell” just yet, especially not so suddenly. Someone must have dropped something in there. This morning I checked under all the seats and didn’t find anything that shouldn’t be there. I don’t eat in the car, so it must have been someone else, right? (Yeah, keep telling yourself that.) Hmm…
Maybe I need to pull all the sunshades and things out from under the seats and make absolutely sure there’s nothing carbon-based decaying in there. We did haul some potluck stuff over the holidays to someone’s house. It’s possible some food escaped. Yuck, I just hope I find it before the smell becomes really foul.
