You know how it is... when you get a new car, you just want to keep the new car smell in as long as you want. But the thing is, with a new car, you want to ride around town in style, splurge on some good food and such. Inevitably, you always end up with doggybags for leftovers.

The first time I had leftovers from a Singapore Asian food joint (Banana leaf, farmers' market at the Grove, LA ) Boy the food smelled great. But potent! Then it dawned on me that I could chuck the thing in the "spare tire" compartment. Took 40 minutes to drive home. Got back, popped the trunk, took the food out. You can definitely smell the aroma escaping, but once you put down the cover to the compartment, the smell is sealed in! So no more stinky car interior due to food smells.

Now my interest is peaked. What else can I chuck in there. So a couple of days later, my wife & I went to Macaroni Bar & Grill, ordered up some delicious italian food. Same thing, we ended up with leftovers. No worries! Pop it into the compartment again and drove home. And again, not a hint of the smell inside the car.

Long story short, I tried this with all sorts of food and it worked like a charm all the time. My car still smells just as new as the first day I got it. The compartment however, now smells like a food bazaar, with all sorts of food smells melding together. Once in a while, I will air it out. No biggie.

I don't know about you, but this is the BEST FEATURE EVER!!! For a food lover like me, at least.

Hope you like my 100th post!
