    I like going to dealers on a hot summer day, sit in one of those new cars and baste in the smell.

    They should come from the factory with a heavy lemon scent.

    When I used to be a plumber, a can of primer was spilled in the back of a work van on a hot summer day - 100+ degrees, ahhh man I remember getting inside that van around 2PM..

    I swear, I had to lay down after getting a wiff of that.

    They all smell like off-gassing freshly molded plastic parts, to me.

    Mine has started to smell vaguely of sweat. I guess I've gotten in it sweaty too many times.

    Gawd, I hate the new car smell, it gives me a headache. All those volatile organic compound
    that are being released from solvents and adhesives are not exactly good for you.
