The smell of freedom

By ThatNewCarSmell - 01/10/2014 16:53 - United States - Carlsbad

Today, I held my bag of burger and fries out the window while driving, to preserve that new car smell. Not only did I hit a pothole and lose my lunch, I got pulled over by a cop who suspected I was either littering or tossing drugs when I saw him. FML

Why didn't you just open all the windows? It wouldn't smell that bad..

well at least your car is still smelling new & that's what matters

Well technically yes, since he lost his lunch. Not really a question to ask..

At least he didn't lose an arm or crash!

I think we established that op is a girl.

But then he wouldn't have that new car smell (reread the fml)

#2 That's what I was thinking OP should have done. Could've also gotten a car freshener, some smell really good.

This is so what my dad would do. He doesn't like food stinking up his car so he puts it in the trunk sometimes so the smell is at least contained.

I think that opening all the windows is much better than the risk of injury while driving with one hand. Op should have been a bit more careful

ermmm....ever considered that maybe you just don't buy smelly food in a drive thru if you don't want to have it in the car?

Food stinking? Food smells heavenly, what are y'all talking about. :P

I'd rather my car smell like burgers and fries. For some reason new car smell gives me a headache. I hope the cop laughed at you

Idk I think I'd rather have my car smell like burgers and fries

Did the police officer question the OP on how many pesos he spent on his drugs? OP, I'm sorry that you don't respect the cow that died for your food enough to welcome it lovingly into your new smelling car. But seriously, not worth it. Buy air fresheners

#50 made me really hungry for some dead cow though. Steak for dinner!

#50 was referring to a previous fml post about selling drugs for pesos.

Probably didn't respect the cow that died to make the leather that covered the seats either.

That "new car smell" isn't actually a real thing. Car dealerships spray that stuff to make cars smell brand new... And I'd, I worked at a car dealership :3

But the new car smell is real...it's the smell of unmolested leather and plastic.

Well, to be fair, the new car smell IS so good it's nearly orgasmic.

Well if OP thought it through, I'm pretty sure he would've rather preferred the smell of fried and burgers over getting pulled over and having to explain everything to the cop

At least it's better than the feeling of rust!

It wouldn't work. They aren't doughnuts.

Should of asked for extra plastic bags and tie. Also wouldn't your lunch be cold if you put it outside while driving?

I have to be that guy..... "should have" come on people the sites been around long enough.

I have to be that girl... "site's". ("Sites" is plural for "site", and "site's" is "site is" or "site has", just like "it's" means "it is" or "it has") The word you were looking for was site's for site has. "The site has been around long enough." "The site's been around long enough."

Can I play, too? #91 has one unnecessary comma and a missed period. :)

My turn, everyone knew what everyone was saying, and everyone thinks you guys are annoying.

Ali_Br_fml 33

Yes we are, but it's so fun. ;-) #103 was being annoying to me for being annoying to #59 for being annoying to #7. ;)

This is the exact opposite of what OP wants.

I'd rather my car smell like a burger and fries all the time. Mmmm...burger and fries...

what about rancid burger juice from last week's burger?
