Tarmac Posted February 14, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2009 Humor me What is the "correct" air freshener to hang from the rear view mirror of a series one Z? I've been going with the classic green tree, but maybe I should have fuzzy dice or hand cuffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHPTOM Posted February 14, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 14, 2009 When I had my 240 back in 1979 I remember Old Spice or Brut being the No 1 smell!!!!Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 14, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 14, 2009 Don't tell me you haven't seen the 1984 cult classic "Repo Man"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repo_Man_(1984_film)Car deodorisers shaped like evergreen trees are placed in most cars. These items were one of the few sponsored items (along with Ralph's generic goods above) in this movie and hundreds of these deodorisers were donated to the filmmakers for this movie. It is mentioned in the DVD commentary track that these air fresheners were actually unscented, and it is suggested that they were only given to the film because they were defective (and thus, unsellable). Miller, the mechanic-philosopher, also noted the pervasive presence of the scented pine tree deodorisers in repossessed cars, telling Otto, "You'll find one in every car. You'll see." Later in the film, one even appears on a policeman's motorcycle. They can also be seen hanging from the ceiling in the scene at Miller's house.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Moore Posted February 14, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 14, 2009 When I rebuilt my car I found a "roach-clip" in the shift boot... Seems at least one previous owner had a slightly different idea of the correct air freshener sent for a 240Z.I bet that it fit well with that orange shag carpeting that was in the car at the time as well.

Bonzi Lon Posted February 14, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 14, 2009 I think the correct air freshener was the one shaped like a gas pump for the smell of raw gas or the one shaped like a muffler for that wonderful exhaust aroma.

Bonzi Lon Kind of like the scratch-n-sniffs when I was a kid, they had ones that smelled like gas. I have become accustomed to the exhaust smell, though. -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Coffey Posted February 16, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 16, 2009 The correct air freshener for any S30 smells like gasoline, exhaust fumes, and moldy jute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted February 16, 2009 Share #9 Posted February 16, 2009 In order to be period correct, the Series 1 S30 must be equipped with a bottle of the now defunct fragrance Hai Karate, unless you are the second owner and then you would be stocking Jovan Musk... The Christmas Tree Freshener hanging from your hood release would have long ago quit smelling of anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted February 16, 2009 Wait, are you saying I need to move the pine tree from the rear view mirror to the hood release? Do I hang anything from the rear view? I hate to ask, but what sunglasses should I wear? Currently Im rocking the mirrored aviators, but since I've been wrong about so many other things...

TexasRider260Z Posted February 16, 2009 Share #12 Posted February 16, 2009 The correct air freshener for any S30 smells like gasoline, exhaust fumes, and moldy jute. MINE - minus the moldy jute part. I may have to look into the Hai Karate thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
