I usually get 3 months of jdm squash smelling goodness.
Maybe you should have your nasal cavity checked for blockage.

Hahaha, this may be the solution.

I had a squash air freshner that came in a tray with a foil wrapper, and you peel a bit of the foil back and it freshens the air for a while and when it dies down, you just peel a bit more and its good to go again. That lasted quite a while.

Why would you want your car to smell like squash?

Because it's JDM squash! Smells much better than our usdm squash. Due to our FDA allowing so much pesticides into our farmed food.

but squash air fresheners do smell bomb!
Time for bed. I'm still buzzed from superbowl.

You guys and your "JDM" crap. Not even the Japanese, Okinawans, or drifters buy those.

I bought the Squash Air Spencer because I definitely needed an air freshener and I heard nothing but good reviews of this.

It's SUPER strong so I actually put it under the floorboard in the rear of the car. I think mine is about to run out, but it's been about a month. I've heard they only last a month so not surprised. A week seems ridiculous though. How open did you set the vents? I do mine the lowest setting possible.

Do you guys actually mean that your air fresheners smell like real squash. Can that even smell good? When it's cooked on the stove it smells like a big dry fart.

Come on you guys, squash must stand for somthing else. I cant imagine a real squash scent in your car. Is like a subliminal thing for the chicks? Like they get in your ride and start thinking that you have this big rock hard squash for them?

My squash air freshener didn't last long either. But that's okay because I didn't particularly care for the scent anyway.

New car smell, FTW! Then when that goes away, hit up AutoZone as mentioned before...
