Smoking in Car Thread

During the warm months, I smoke in my 1962 Corvair all the time. 60's cars were made for smoking. There is a small ashtray on each armrest and a larger one on the top of the dash above the radio. The wing windows and cowl vents quickly blow any residual smoke out, and the vinyl upholstery is more or less impervious to cigar odor. In the winter, I occasionally smoke in my Subaru Outback, though I keep the front drivers window and rear passenger window open. It establishes a cross breeze that quickly pulls smoke out of the car. If it's cold out, I'll crank the heat up and turn on the heated seats. Never, ever, set your vehicle's climate control to recirculate while smoking. Smoke will precipitate in the ducting and cabin air filter and you'll never get the smell out.
