    A Giant fan in my car - Household cleaning tips needed

    Tomorrow I'm catching up with my Victorian based old Cultural and Footy Guru, passing through Sydney. He's fine, comes from 3 generations of genuine South Melbourne Bloods fans, and got me into footy.

    So far, so good.

    But he is travelling with a mate who is a Giants fan and is connected with the club. I am giving them both a lift around Sydney, and therefore will have a Giants fan in my beloved Subaru.

    So, how can I disinfect my car after this?

    It is even possible? Or should I feign car theft, and just torch my Liberty?

    There's no getting back from that. The stench will linger for years.
    In fact you might as well take it straight to the dump because there will be no resell value.
    On the bright side it's time to upgrade to the WRX STi.

      Yep, torch it. Don't even worry about the theft report. As soon as it gets out a Giants person was in the car, the police will know it was you. But before lighting up the car, just make sure Lachie Whitfield isn't being hidden in the back somewhere. Don't want to end up sharing a cell with Roger Rogerson.

        You could start a lengthy conversation to try and breakdown all of Jeremy Cameron's touches in the prelim. Another ice breaker might be an extended diatribe on the Clay Smith vs Ryan Griffen clash that led to Caleb Daniel's major deep in the 3rd?
        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

          Make him walk? Or take the AFL's approach, and give him his own, incredibly expensive car, upgrade it with an even more expensive one in a year or two, keep pouring money into it until it is the fastest and greatest car in the world. Then, face off in a contest, where your car beats his car, despite all the money that went towards it. Then laugh at him. A lot.

            Until I saw evidence of their existence at the Prelim final, I'd believed Giants fans were either photo-shopped or were actors paid to attempt to look knowledgable and passionate about the game.

              That is precisely how they appear.

                I love my car and your responses are welcome but depressing. Surely there is a way out of this?

                How about hanging a voodoo doll of Patton off my rear vision mirror with pins in each ligament of his bad knee?

                  Not very good actors either.

                    This could risk an AFEL investigation where the premiership is stripped from us, though.

                      Buy a portable dvd player and stick it in front of them with the prelim on repeat for the duration of your journey.

                      I still can't believe that anyone is *really* a Giants supporter.

                        At the risk of a further loss of credibility I have a Giants fan living downstairs in my block of flats.

                        And what I'm about to post is dead true, I'm not taking the piss out of disabled folk, he is deaf and dumb.

                        Luckily, my Richmond supporting cat counteracts this local evil.

                          Can you change the seats afterwards perhaps? Get new ones installed then burn the old infected seats.
                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                            A plastic cover over the seat should be sufficient protection. And after being constantly surrounded by plastic, he won't even notice.

                              Knowing our history, this could actually happen.
