Gallery of junker-car air fresheners

Posted by Cory Doctorow, November 22, 2007 7:09 PM | permalink

Jalopnik's Murilee Martin spent the day at the junkyard, pulling parts and incidentally snapping a great photo-series of shots of christmas tree air-fresheners hanging from the rearviews of the junker cars. Thus proving the Repo Man axiom: "You find one in every car, kid, you'll see." Link (Thanks, Murilee!)

The manufacturer of those ubiquitous tree air fresheners has a surprisingly well-developed website: http://www.little-trees.com. Not being a Car-Freshener aficionado, I'm also surprised at just how many varieties they make.

Excellent. As soon as I saw the picture & before reading the words 'Repoman' had jumped into my head. "You find one in every car" always jumps into my head when I see one in a car.

Look closely, I think that you'll see that it's spelled air "freshner". ;)

And, for the record, Murilee Martin is a nom de plume of a decidedly non-female Jalopnik author.
