WWBD

Two more big scores. This week found me running around all of Dongguan and ShenZhen. Contrary to my original observation the air fresheners are not prevalent throughout the regions drivers. I think I was just in a pool of car cologne aficionados, maybe it is something they use to differentiate themselves from the other driver clans, some gasoline loving gangs choose to wear sleeveless leather jackets with menacing names and deathly designs on the back while others find spreading a unified scent of loveliness to be more their thing. Who am I to judge.

It had been pretty dry, until I came across two real beauties.

Holy Glade
I wanted the drive to the factory to last forever. This freshener is a blending of two worlds. One, the spiritual old world and two, the artificial new world. It is the first American brand freshener I've seen. The sleek design shows an abundance of industrial design inspiration. However, the color of the freshening fluid was neglected severely. It did bring memories of the puddles left on the bathroom linoleum by a certain employee with bad aim at a certain place of employment. Moreover, I'm proud of this photo's composition. I was able to capture the dangling rear view mirror tassle, a neighboring vehicle, a motorcyclist in action, and a few of the primary culprits that I'm blaming for my increasing lung damage.

Fuck It, Just Pick a Name
How about Sweet Voice? Hell, yeah. That's it. Sweet Voice. I've spent the last 2 days trying to find the relationship between the product and the product name and have come up empty. If any one of you can thing of a link, let me know. This freshener had a self leveling feature that wasn't quite working. The chrome job on the plastic top had some really bad orange peel. As far as I could tell, the little dome on top held a compass. There was a needle-like object there, but I didn't see it move once. This freshener had the same charm as a Charlie Brown X-mas Tree. It is definitely no Commander 700. I would consider it more metrosexual than macho.
