Whether it's the smells of a muddy wet dog or that forgotten lunch from last month, car fresheners are a much-needed fix to get your ride smelling back to how it should.
Cars don't just have to smell like "new car" or "pine" though, there are a range of scents to choose from -- like mac and cheese or even chlorine. These offbeat car fresheners really do exist and will trigger thoughts of childhood lunches, pool days or your poorest point in college.
If the scent of your ride isn't a top priority, then there are car fresheners out there that are worth buying simply for their looks. For example, the N.W.A.-inspired 'Hanging with the Homies' collection comes in portrait designs of Dr. Dre and Eazy-E, while the Heisenberg freshener lets drug-dealing Walter White hang from your mirror.
