I have tried that "fresh air" setting over the years, but all I get is the
smell of exhaust and dead dogs and such. I think they should re-name that

That is one good thing about living where I live; the air is still
fairly decent. We do occasionally get what we call "that fresh country
air" when the local farmers manure. It usually doesn't last all
that long, however.
