New Car Smell...

Well, I'm proud to say that my new car smell is still sticking around. There is nothing better than to open your door and get in your car and smell that wonderfull smell. I'm gonna miss it when its gone.

Mine occasionally gets washed out from the a/c, but it's always waiting for me in the morning . . .

That smell is actualy the plastic inside the car curing thats why on hot days the smell is more powerful.
and it is actualy bad for you over extended periods of time.
But it does smell good kinda like when you get a little wiff of gas being pumped.

My car has only 7000miles and sits in a garage most of the time, that wonderful " New Car " smell is there everytime I open the door.

I know it's the a/c, only because my mom just picked up an 06 LS sedan, and that thing *reeks* of plastic from all those damn covers on the engine. I thought something was seriously wrong with it after we took it for a test drive, but the dealership said it should fade in a week or so. Mine smells like my old car's a/c, only not as strong.

There's no such thing as a nice cigarette... they all smell like crap! Even if it weren't deadly, that would be enough to keep me from smoking.

Really? a skunk?

There definitely has to be some spray that smells like it. My first car was a '95 contour with 100k miles on it and it somehow still had that new car smell.
