The smell of turbine aircraft exhaust and NHRA nitro methane exhaust makes me horny.

Here. Go in the corner, apply liberally and take care of that condition.

They are actually building right now probably less than 500 yards from the starting line at Pacific Raceways. Must be aimed at deaf people to buy.

When crybabies start complaining about our local dirt track at a town hall meeting I like to pull out a 3 X 4 foot ariel map the township has that was taken in 1969 by the USDA that shows only 3 farms and a few houses within a mile of the racetrack. The town board will listen to complaints about the track but NEVER sides with the complainers.

Had the opportunity to examine a new Hyundai in the showroom the other day. Damn, those things reek inside. Not at all the new car smell I remember.

I imagine Korea and Alabama (big Hyundai assembly plant there) smell about the same.

The window tag said Korea.

Are you suggesting both places stink in general?

Saw a disturbing number of replacement engines sitting around awaiting installation while waiting around the service department. Both used.

I don't think "new car smell" when I think of either of them if that's what you mean.

My sister-in-law has owned 2 of them. She's happy with them I guess.

I have one. Ok so far save for a few small things. I totally had the warranty violated up to 100k.

Picked up one of my Harleys at the Harley shop this morning. It had all of a sudden decided to idle at 2300 RPM and nothing I tried would cure it. $105.00 later I'm back on the road. I miss the old days when you could have grabbed a screwdriver and backed off the idle adjustment screw a half a turn. AS luck would have it the warrantee ran out July 28th.

I've been told they have improved a thousand present over what the first ones imported were.

They all smell bad anymore. Everybody uses cheap plastic.

The first ones were trash. This one was used and we paid more for it than a brand new Mitsubishi.

This was almost putrid to me. Maybe new biodegradable plastic already doing it's thing? I'd keep the windows down as much as possible.

Once you get past all the v-6's being replaced under warranty, they are really good vehicles now.

I actually drove one last week with 590,xxx miles on it.

are you sure @silverbullet2893 hadn't sat in it just before you and left you a "surprise"?
