I have you beat, I only found the sunflower-seed covered nest under my shift boot from the cat-**** smell coming out when ever I floored it.

The intake had the worst of it. There was a palace on the air filter.

I'm still trying to get the smell out, any suggestions? I've tried Febreeze, was going to try arm&hammer pet deodorizer for carpets.

Clean, vacuum and removal of a significant portion of the interior got rid of about 90% of that musky "old car" smell. As for the rodent urine smell, I got rid of any foam i can get my hands on. And a lot of air flows into the cabin through the tunnel so if you rid the foam there then you'll get rid of close to all the smell.

Love the blue, I am sure there are some guys that scoff at the hybrids these days but we just bought ours and plan to bring it back to the original azurite blue once we are done with the interior restoration

Ha, sorry didn't mean to make you bite on the terminology, everyone was commenting on the blue color, "hybrid" in terms of the two tone one we have!

Ah, got it...for a second, thought you might be running a hydrogen fuel cell.

Great buy, love the blue, that Porsche paint does hold up well over the years.
