ka-BOOM!
[rewind] a month or so ago, i bought one of those HIGHLY CONCENTRATED oil based air fresheners for my car. you're supposed to hook/attach it to your car's heating vent and be blessed with your chosen scent-o-happiness upon running the heat. [in my case, 'tropical'.] but, it didn't attach to my car at all, so i threw it in the back seat drinky compartment thingie, figuring the scent wafting from the device alone [without heat] will make my car pretty smelling.[present day]so, i get into my car the other day [after it was negative whatever temperature the previous night] and am overwhelmed by the scent of coconuts and flowers- my happy tropical air freshener! i think 'that's really fucking STRONG' [koff.koff] but attribute it to [a] just getting over a cold and [b] heightened smelling senses from it being so.damn.cold. [cold will do that to you...]as i'm driving to work, the smell gets to be so bad, i reach behind me to grab the air freshener and throw it out the window. [yes, it was THAT bad.] but! my backseat drink holder is gone! after much fhasdjklfhdjkhfjdskhfjkds-ness as you can do while driving in rush hour, i look to see that my backseat drink holder has completely disappeared!after inspection, it turns out the oil leaked out into the joints of the drink holder [the air freshener was on it's side] and it froze and expanded and the rear drink holder exploded itself off of my car. [!!!] it, and the air freshener oil, were all over my backseat. ! ! !luckily, the oil is all on the floor of the backseat. still, it REEKS of happy flowers and coconut in my car. GAG!now, to figure out if toyota can replace it... >_

Hahaha!I don't mean to laugh, because that's really gross (the overwhelming scent of coconut would have me close to barfing), but...hahaha!Your poor little car, though. It was just sitting there wondering when you were going to come out again and make it warm, and, out of nowhere, pieces of it are being blown off! How rude!
it's crazy! the whole rear drink compartment was BLOWN APART! it was crazy! i was confused and i'm sure Car was horribly traumatized!! >_< she's not speaking to me, in any case...i've had e2 in there to estimate damage. he was getting sniffly upon opening the door, and much more after sitting there for 20 minutes, fumigating [smokingcloves] it. clove + coconut = DEATH. really, i'm certain death is a mix of hot and cold and coconut and clove. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
*retch*That's similar to the time, I had a friend buy a six pack of beer while on the way to the nearest movie theater when we worked at camp on one of our days off. He shoved a couple cans up under my seat. Two days later when I decide I need to run to the store, I moved the seat back. It punctured one of the cans. The hole was no larger than a pin, but it sat spraying my back seat with Budweiser. I smelled it while I was driving, thinking WTF? I stopped the car, turned around only to see a fine mist of beer being sprayed all over my back seat. Oh joyous day.
Wow. What a weird thing to happen...
i don't mean to laugh, but it sure did make me giggle they way you described it... i am sorry about your stanky car /hugs n stuff
> my backseat drink holder is gone! i was CONVINCED you were gonna say something about how the air freshner was soo strong it had dissolved the holder and that was why it was missing.. XDi think i need to drink some more caffeine to wake up a bit. ^___^
sorry to hear about the car problems. hope that all is going well otherwise though. miss you guys...boohoo...
Funny stuff!
your pain has made me laugh....that story made my morning!I hope you can fix the smell sometime soon... at least it's not ketchup??
your icon is awesomebut yeah, it sucks when you have a new car and then something stupid such as this oil incident happens to it and you're like "I want to replace it" and then in 4 years time you stop caring. hahaha.
i'm sorry. that's horrible, but the way you wrote it is sooo funny.i hope your car gets better, and stop smelling. i had a similar experience once. at least it is winter.
at least it is winterthat is an EXCELLENT point! if it were summer, i'd be dead from poisonous happy flower fumes. god, that was NAAAASTY! bad, BAD air freshener!
this icon is better! [and, funny enough, it made me think of you when i uploaded it.] i've already stopped caring. sorta. i want to trade in my 2003 prius for a 2004 prius, so i kinda want to get it fixed to cash in on a better trade in value.though, i'm stupid for trading in a year old car for a new car, anyway. or not. depending on how you look at it. [the new one is so better! and bluetooth equipped! and cuter!]i have THE BEST video for you, once i rip it to vcd. it's a seekrit! but, you are going to DIE laughing!!!
^_^i'm as amused by it as i'm vexed. this falls into the category of 'things that only happen to me...' [which happen a lot, i'm afraid.]i'm glad it made several people smile! ^_^as sasha said, at least it isn't summer! [oh god, the smell would be SO insane then and it's bad enough now!]
yay! i'm laughing about it now, too!^_^only me...
hello to you in bosnia! i owe you a BIG email! which i shall write shortly!i miss you bunches! i can't wait till you get back and we can go out and get crazy! the wine's on me when we do!<3 <3 <3 <3!!!!^_^
honestly, i though the same thing when i reached back there and it was gone! [that the oil dissolved it, because the boy was telling me the other day right before that not to let the oil spill out, because it WOULD dissolve plastic!] i accidentallyonpurpose checked out the dior selection at macy's. whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??!! you are right- we are cursed for having good taste! i got a new tie, a white men's dress shirt and a skimpy pinstripe skirt the boy has declared to be illegal outside the bedroom. [ok, so it IS a bit short...] i SO need those cufflinks!
i think it's hilarious now! still, i'm sad for the car. she was all probably like, 'WTF??!!'[yes, i attribute human emotions to my car. but she's SO cute!] thankfully, the smell is starting to go away. thank god!!!
unfortunately, this isn't weird at all, in my world. stuff like this happens all the time! [well, exploding drink holders don't happen all the time but weird stuff like this does..]silly car!
bleh! i hate beer so that would be the sheer death of me! at least it wasn't coke. a friend had a bottle of that burst and it sprayed the whole inside of her [light gray] jeep with brown gooey stains. yuck!
i don't even dare walking past the outlets here in oslo that sell dior stuff anymore. those cufflinks and that ring were to kill for!! +wantwantwantwant+and skirts should be short. some of the skirts i'm drawing for my portfolio are soo short they're almost indescent!! XD
eegad... yes! Thank goodness it isn't the summer! Is there anything you can do to fix it before the summer??
