SO I live in Boulder and was working this last Saturday night. Of course, it's Boulder and people MUST riot every chance they get. Luckily my car was parked in the ally and somewhat protected from most the rioters. However, there were about 30 people hanging out there as well. The cops tear gased and maced everyone and the S*&# stayed in my ventillation system. I was driving home and my eyes and throat start burning!! My car kinda smells like sulfur now and I'm not happy. At least it wasn't flipped over and set on fire like some of the other cars. Oh yeah, and the cops also shot everyone with rubber bullets. One hit my car and it's not very noticable but still frustrating.

damn, that sucks! you're right, it could have been worse...

did you snag a rubber bullet as a souvenir? a former boss of mine got hit in the back with one. he snagged one as a souvenir from his trip to ireland. good times.

that smell will work itself out in time. looks like it's time for some fabeeze.

Fabreze works wonders! Used to have a company car that was once used by a voodoo priestess that smoked really bad ceegars. The Fabreze really helped!

Fabreeze is like kryptonite to those voodoo priestesses

I use these Glade "stick-ups" that are supposed to be used in diaper disposal systems. If it makes diapers smeell good - it will definitely work with a clean car

My new car smell is also gone, now I have somewhat funny smell from the ventilation system when I start the car in the morning...

Exactly what were they rioting *about*? I haven't heard of anything interesting happening in Boulder lately....

The riots started when the cops tried to break up a block party of 1500 people. No one is really sure who threw the first punch, cops or kids. I know that on the block that I work on, no one was doing anything until the cops showed up and smoked bombed everyone. I saw a few girls get thrown to the ground and tased for trying to walk home. One of our delivery drivers got pelted with rubber bullets when he was trying to walk back into the store.

Here's a good article on it with some pretty good pictures of what was happening.

yup i agree, time for some fabreeze for the seats and carpets but what good is it going to do to the smell coming out of the vents?

Or you could use one of those Glade Car airfreshner which you clip onto the vents.
