Good grief ! They can whine about the FEMA trailers all they want but leave the cars alone! The "new car smell" is one of the things that makes owning a new car enjoyable (no, it's not the "fumes").

Mine is four years old and although I dont notice it, everybody who rides in it tells me it still smells new.

I firmly believe that new car smell can hurt you! Every single time I have had a vehicle with that new car smell it hurt my checking account in a major way. Old cars don't give me the feeling like somebody just stabbed me in the wallet like a new car does. Must be the smell .
