What's your car's "signature scent"?

StangLady · 01-14-2001, 11:08 AM

ok, ok, so I am bored on a Sunday morning...just curious, seems a lot of people have that "special" cologne or air freshner they like in their car...

My Stang always smells like "wildberries" or Coty Musk (my favorite mens cologne..most men hate it so I wear it myself)

How about you? Vanilla? Beer?

Well, if its not the smell of my work boots (yuck) its the scent of my nice naked chick air freshener. Those truck stops in the US have tons of them!

My winter beater (the 82 Audi) well, no matter what I do, it smells like coolant burning through the exhaust.. Damn head gasket..

Tire smoke & grease. Coming this summer the sweet scent of race gas.

I'll have to go with good old fashion leather scent! When I go to the carwash I get leather and new-car scent.

Want it to always smell new!

Same as n20lx, but in the spring the old soccer cleat and bag smell returns

Light Em Up!!

Mothers Leather Conditioner.. but since i got the car undercoated it smells like diesel.. and it won't go away.

How does it usually smell? Like Blue Magic upholstery cleaner & my Stetson. Ahh...

How does it smell right now? Not too good: feet, a crappy little mint air freshener, and a coke my friend spilled.

Oh well, I'm gonna be cleaning it up soon as I get the garage cleaned out...at the same time I'm doing my mods.

my car smells like new still, luck i guess. But i get to drive ladies cars often (nope, not a playboy, I wish, but have many lady friends who leave thier car while they are away on buisness, I clean, fill full of gas... explains it right?) and i have to say, a ladies car just plain smells great. I do not know what they do, but they plain know how to drive a man crazy with thier great smelling interiors!

My choice is new car scent, hidden well away from view of course! That and little green clean machine solution, and tuff stuff carpet cleaner, son of a gun, citrus cleaner and protectant. You know, most of the time, but it does slide in the winter time. Cleaning carpet in the winter can result in wet conditions for a good while afterwards.
