To start fires? To pollute waterways? To tick everyone off? Nope. They&#8217;re just trying to keep their car from smelling like an ashtray.<\/p>\n<p> Inventor Mark Sloan has the answer to these questions, &#8220;I just put the X-tray where the lit cigarette butts are being flicked. Outside the car. It&#8217;s that simple!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> The X-tray(TM) attaches to the outside of a car door with two soft magnets or to the angled leading edge of a car window with a strip of Velcro(R). The X-tray is completely removable and portable. It works on trucks, motorcycles, boats and golf carts too.<\/p>\n<p> Adds Sloan, &#8220;A tobacco company is very interested in the X-tray for a summer environmental campaign and the National Parks Service &amp; US Forest Service have just approved the X-tray to be sold at their Campgrounds, Visitor Centers and Gift Shops.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> LitterButt.com: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been contacted quite a few times with inventions for smokers and finally someone has a product that solves the problem for everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> More information, photos and video available on the X-tray(TM) website: www.x-tray.com.<\/p>\n<p>News issued by: Mark Sloan<\/p>\n<p> # # # <\/p>\n<p><small>Original Story ID:  (512) :: 2005-06-0624-002<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Keywords: x-tray, Mark Sloan, ashtray for outside car, auto accessories, smoking, cigarettes, smoker&#8217;s rights, Florida newswire, Lake Worth, lit butts, invention, inventor Mark Sloan   <\/small><\/p>\n<p class=\"s2pred\"><strong>NEWS SOURCE: Mark Sloan<\/strong> | Published: 2005-06-24 16:27:00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAKE WORTH, Fla. &#8211; June 24 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Ashtray for the &#8216;outside&#8217; of vehicles is the smokers&#8217; solution to flicking butts.
