    New Car Smell = New Car Poison

    This isn`t new news, but it is good to read from time to time. I noticed this when I bought my Subaru in February. There was a total lack of new car smell in the car when I picked it up. Obviously some auto manufacturers are making a lot of effort to reduce these dangerous gasses.

    You`re definately right . When I tell people that the smell is actually gases from the glue drying they look at me funny..lol. Maybe I`m just a funny guy..

    I miss my new car smell. It was really potent back in the 80`s. That is why I drive around with an open can of paint and open bottle of rubber cement in my trunk. I`ve heard that the fumes can cause...something bad. I can`t remember what it is though. Something about the brain. I`m sure it isn`t anything to worry about. What was I saying again? Oh yea... I like the new car smell. It was really potent back in the 80`s. ...or did I say that already? I`ve got a headache.

    Bentleys and Ferraris have pretty distinct smells when new that aren`t too poisonous. Bentleys have lots of wood and leather smells, Ferraris have more of an industrial smell (as I type I begin to wonder just how un-poisonous industrial smells are, oh well). You can always get a bottle of 4* leather conditioner and take a whiff. :biggrin:
