The Smell of Fresh Leather Car Interior

July 7, 2012 By Nadeem Muaddi

There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh leather, right? Wrong.

One Florida cowboy decided to put the old saying to the test – slicing the roof off his Pontiac to fit a live cow in the cabin. The result, as you’ll see in the pictures below, gives the world’s most disgusting car interior a run for its money.

For reasons I’m sure you’ll understand, we’re inducting this cowboy into The Hog Ring’s “Hall of Shame”.

    RETIRED ,ITS A GOOD THING THE MAN NAMED JESUS HAS FORGIVEN ALL OF US AUTO TRIMMERS ,HU…
    KJV BIBL
    MATT. 9
    [16] No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

    LEV.5
    [2] Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
    [3] Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.

    In Illinois, the law is every passenger in the car must be wearing a seatbelt. It would be an interesting ticket if nothing else…

      I can see the look on the cop’s face, lol.

      I’d like to think he has a real rational reason for doing this. Extra traction?

        Save money on a trailer? Or this started with those words of doom, ‘Y’all watch this!’
