oh yeah, its totally normal. i used to think it was cute but when you show up for job interviews smelling like an old box of crayons, the novelty's gone. the worse is in the summer. i pity the ppl that sit next to me in class...

(i was the one that posted that stuff about the ultimate air freshener) just wanted to give you an update on that...it worked for a while (a cpl of weeks) but slowly the smell came back...

anyways, i have a 99 beetle and it smells like crayons all my friends get a kick out of it but i was wondering if this is common in them or if my car is just weird?
I thought mine smelled like a new set of 64 Crayons. You know.. the big box! with the sharpener in the back? HAHAHA! Just like that. After nine years its not as strong. Maybe because im used to it. But once in a while i still smell it real strong.
