this happened to me. my fiance confessed to putting her feet on the heaters during a cold day when i ran into the store. the car smelled like feet for a couple of weeks. went away after a couple of interior cleanings.

An air freshener that attaches to the air vents will help significantly.

Or one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...me=mem_guide:5

I was also going to say it sounds like between how hot it gets and the occassional cold day, you have mold growing.

It also sounds like all these other guys need to get their women some goldbond.

Get the special air freshener that you spray into the a/c vents. Its especially designed to kill any mildew in the hvac system.
