Bacon smell in Audi Wagon

Our recently purchased Audi Wagon came with a trunk full of old spoons. After cleaning them out there is still a smell of bacon that wont go away. Would a high powered flashlight stop it. I usually have an extra loaded in the glovebox. Might be the smell but my neighbors dog keeps peeing on the tires too. Any ideas?

Swap to your snow tires. As for the Bacon smell, I'd leave it, added resale value.

Are you sure it's bacon and not urine you detect?

Add a few donuts, it will mellow the smell.

Canadian or regular bacon? On second thought, just sell it and buy a well-set-up Cayenne.

Make sure you are covered for comprehensive insurance and park it in a lot of Porsches!

What is this, some sort of 'bragging" post? I've been trying to get that "new bacon smell" for years. I can't bear to actually slap some bacon on the carpet. I think I need to find a Bacon air freshener.

Sprinkle some fertilizer around the trunk area, then keep a small barrel of fuel oil in the back.

Just in case you know...

Stop by the buffet, I'm sure they can bio-diesel it for you and help create a matching odor. Or just sell it and buy multiple blocks of XOM and extra ammo for the zombie rifle.

No, you need to slap some cratch in the black Audi then see if it'll do 165!
