Garage Full of Stench O' 7

My garage smells like a 7 and the smell is starting to permeate through the house. I'm running an aircleaner fulltime, but its not helping much. Any idea how to get ride of this?

(I can't park just park outside. The only place I have to park the 7 is in the garage.)

Get you 7 detailed. It shouldnt smell bad. Drop a couple of air cleaner grenades into the rex and leave it for about a day. (I am not joking. When I detailed cars back in the day that was always a good fix for the smelliest of all cars.)

I thought the smell of exhaust, transmission oil, and raw fuel was normal? LOL

That's what I thought too. I just don't want my house to smell like it.

The problem is probably the stinky exhaust when the car is running.

If I put the cats back on the car, they might find the dead rat previously mentioned ... Of course, they'd also chase away the extra horses.
