How can I politely tell my mate that his car stinks?

My friend has had a rough couple of weeks. I wont go into too many details, but I think his mum caught him watching porn. Anyway, he is a little sensitive at the moment.

So he picked me up this morning to go riding, and I found that his car really smelt bad. Due to his current mental state, I didn't know how to make it known.

Any advice on how I can tell him? I can't just let it slide. He has a hot date tomorrow night. :love:

The only way to do it is to make a fuss when you first get into the car, like it was such a shock that you couldn't control your mouth. Premeditated spontaneousnous :bounce:

Eats cheese. Sells crack.
Zip tie a mullet to his muffler.

When he finally cleans his car looking for the stench cut it off.

I actually got in the car and said something like "Whooa whats that smell?" straight away, but the look on his face made me quickly scramble to recover the situation. I then said, I stood on dog crap and made him stop the car so I could "pretend" to wipe my shoe on the grass for 5 minutes.....

I knew a bloke like this once. He was incredibly - how can I put it - fat, and he used to spend a lot of his time sitting in his car eating meat pies and donuts. i don't know if the smell was the pies, the donuts, bo, or something else he did in that car, but man... Funny thing about him was, he got really pissed off at others who made a mess of his car, although that may have been more an issue of them encroaching on his 'personal space', not sure.. he was a filthy pig to put it bluntly. God knows what his house looked like. Wouldn't wanna be one of his house donuts that's for sure..

OK, straight up. "Dude, your car stinks. I'll give ya a hand cleaning it up. Got five minutes"?
If he goes all weird on you just slap him on the back and say "Mate, it's not for me. I don't give a shit, I'm thinking about your hot date tomoz".
Maybe offer to swing by a servo and give the car a vaccuum and a spray. Your shout if you have to.

If the guy is in a weird mental state at the moment then what he needs more than anything right now is for his mates to treat him just like they normally would and not walk on eggshells around him.

Treat him like a mate, not a casualty. He'll be able to take it. He needs it.

Being busted watching porn by his Mum? Pfft! Being busted by your Mum losing your virginity to her best mate...? I turned out OK :p

Are you talking about your old mate who we ran into today? You known the one who was telling off the moto convoy? It all makes sense now.
