"I read somewhere recently, or saw on some TV show, or maybe read it here, where someone stuck a dead pig in a car, left it there for some length of time, then attempted to get the stink from the car. After replacing the whole interior, washing down the bare metal, it still stunk. I forgot what the point of this exercise was, except to see what the effect was." It was an episode of one of my favorite shows "Mythbusters." They wanted to explore the "myth" of the car that someone kills themselves in and then it can never be sold because the smell never goes away. It was quite disgusting. They put the pig in the car, then sealed every means of escape for the stench with tape and silicone then they put it into a semi trailer for some time (I think it was two weeks?). It was a pretty nice older Corvette. They had to replace the entire interior (wiring and everything) not for the smell, but because the fluid from the decaying pig had ruined everything. They got it down to bare metal and still no one would buy it because it still reeked. I guess the myth was true. Donald H.
