A few weeks ago my car began to give off an unbelievable stench. I went on several recon missions but could not identify the source of the smell. I literally tore my car apart, but found nothing. The pervasive smell was defying me.
I had to transport some furniture which required I put down my seats for several days, opening up the back of my 4Runner to fit in some beds and tables. During this time the smell almost vanquished. After a few days I put my seats back in their normal position and the smell returned. I then narrowed down the smell to something under one of the seats. The problem here is that I already looked under the seats. Nothing. This smell was coming from an invisible force…
This past Thursday I had to take a trip outside in the sun… a rare occurrence this time of year. I had to wait on my employee to do some paperwork at the DMV. While waiting outside I decided to tear my car apart yet again. I looked everywhere, the trunk, the engine, the seats…. I could not find the source of the smell. I pushed the driver’s seat back and peaked under. Something caught my eye. Three tater tots were wedged in the steal support beam for the chair. I took them out and threw them on the ground. They were from Sonic! My buddy Cooper and I stopped at a Sonic in Oklahoma on January 11th. I remember the tots taking a fall from the bag and disappearing between my seat and the console. Little did I know these three little tater tots would rot, and smell like death. As promised, I found the assailant, the perpetrator of pungency. I exterminated it, and the funk of the Skunk has returned!
