Tea Bags will stain dude.

Get one of those fresher car thingis, they will do the job, or fart.

One of the best odour eaters going around is Bicarb Soda (Baking Powder). Get a small box, open it up, place in console or drink holder space and leave overnight. Do not drive around with it as it will get white powder everywhere and that'll attract the cops faster then a <insert defectable offence>... :P

Also keeping your windows down whenever you can helps dissipate the vapours from the new plastics.

A dead fish under the seat for a few days or chicken bones will get rid of that new car smell for sure!!! Just be sure to leave it outside in the sun with the windows up ;)

:blink: Can't believe your complaining about the smell of a new car... gees.

For those less fortunate, not able to afford a new car... I am sure smell would be the last thing on their minds.

Just focus on the driving mate... :lol:

Damp mouldy bread also works a treat if you want to work that way!!! ;)

Another good one is to drive your drunken mates to a night club after a good warm up session (of course you will be sober for this!!!) and allow them to spill beer, Scotch, Bourbon, Rum... all over the interior... the over drunk vomiting mate if of course optional... :P

And one more for the road... If you have a green thumb a bag of Dynamic Lifter in the boot is a sure fire new car smell killer!!!!

I've still got my new car smell after 12 months. I try to protect it.

But if you really hate it, maybe get a friendly neighbourhood tomcat to urinate at the base of your front windscreen. That smell coming through the air vents will overcome any new car smell you had...

New car smell is GREAT !!! ...

the only reason ppl buy new cars is because of the smell ... mmmmm

People actually pay for air freshners that smell like new car ! ... ( not that it does ) but when someone actually manages to invent a new car smell that actuallys smells like a new car .. they will be plenty rich !

Dude .. if it really bugs you .... its called a window .. wind it down . ! ...

Im sure that some of the older stivo owners are willing to help you out .. swap cars and you wont have that smell any more ?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
