It's bad enough we have to get into cars of varying quality, put up with the driver's sense of "good music", listen to drivers talk on their cell phones for the entire trip, with one hand on the wheel and going 85...

	
	now I have to worry about whether my cologne is acceptable???

	
	Just stop driving! please!

	
	Its also bad enough that we drivers have to put up with strange folks, who snore, blow their noses, sneeze, sleep, drape their belongings over all of mine, have varying degrees of cleanliness, won't shutup, pass gas, spill coffee, complain because you like talk radio, think 80 is too fast, and want me to drive with my hands at 10 and 2....What kind of crap is that?  If I can tolerate that, you should be more tolerant as well....

	
	If you think tarziera shouldn't drive, then because of your statement, perhaps...just perhaps, you SHOULD drive...

	
	And I agree, there is not much worse than having an overpowering odor in your car at 6am.

	again, if you are THAT bothered by slugs and their quirks, you really shouldn't be driving. It's pretty simple. These are human beings, not bags of groceries. Either quit whining or quit driving.

	I had the OPPOSITE experience yesterday. got into a car with a woman who had absolutely MARINATED in some fragrance. It was overwhelming. However, once you're in the vehicle, not much you can do.

	I love that assessment of the lady that "MARINATED" in perfume. Funny stuff! One suggestion stated awhile back - during colder months of slugging - is right on. If you have a scarf, you have at least some protection (whether its a good/bad scent in the car). Just have a small amount of your "own scent" on the scarf and breath into it for the 25 minute ride. Hopefully the driver isnt one who likes to chat though! This slugging stuff is a riot - and we need to laugh at the good and bad sides.

	There is no rule that states once you get into a car that you have to ride in that car. I once got into a car where the owner smoked and the car reeked as if he had just finished a cigarette before picking up slugs. I just as quickly got out of the car explaining that I wouldn't be able to breathe by the time we got back to Horner Road. [:D]
