Fresh Air

One of the coolest things I've seen in China is the air freshener systems used in taxis or hotel cars. They go way beyond the rear view mirror Fresh-n-er trees. They are usually adorned containers of varying shapes filled with cherry cough syrup colored liquid that smell of...chemicals. The best one I've seen so far is the "Commander 700 Car Cologne". It is a whole new level of luxurious. It is like the pinky ring your car has always wanted. If it made my ride in the Geely feel like I was rollin' in a Lincoln Town Car, imagine what it would do for my Ford rANGER.

Special note on the Ray Ban aviators that rested next to the C-700. They belonged to my driver. He kept saying stuff in Chinese and laughing. I didn't understand a lick, but there is no doubt in my mind that he was recounting his conquests that fell for the mystery on the other side of the shades and the dabs of Commander 700 behind the ears.

Once we got to the factory, I paid up, stepped out, threw him a peace sign, and told him, "Play on Playa".

Game recognize Game.
