Old car smell

>>15274815
Once catalytic converters were mandated

There's different old car smells. Ever been in an 80s/early 90s car with a leather interior that's been roasted by the sun?

>>15274815
You mean that unique mix of grease and gas? Well cars became good that's why.

>>15274860
Yep, that's the one

When did cars become boring?

>>15274942
In the 80s when they started making cars "safe"

>>15274942

2003

>>15274942
everything has 4 wheel and disc

the average shinglinglong tire is about as grippy as a supersport tire from 1990.

the advent of obd2 has significantly lowered the quality of the average mechanic too

>>15274815
Nowadays, an old car smell is usually a slight mildew and the smell of the old synthetic materials combined.

>>15274960
4 wheel abs and discs ****

So a Camry today can probably out brake a Diablo kek

I think it's more like a Camry can out brake say a 80s Monte Carlo

Generally, when smoking stopped being so mainstream that everyone did it.
Cars became harder to sell when they stank of stale cigarette smoke.
So people disinfected them so they'd sell.

>>15274960
It's not obd2 specifically. The profession just has no talent coming in, so shop owners have to take in shit techs to fill positions.

Love the smell of my car. Every morning its the smell of rich slightly unburned gasoline as it warms up.

Later in the day its a light musty mix of vinyl interior and old carpet.

And to top it all off a Royal Pine little tree air freshener.

Love my little old shitbox.

>>15277244
what would a talented tech do in that situation?

run diagnostics and change parts slightly faster than the dim tech?

>>15274815
>tfw you could own any car from this picture and be happy with it.

>>15278636
especially that dope ass hella sick tight celica

>>15274815
when car manufacters stopped using vinyl in seat material and bits of dead cow and tree and replaced carboettors with fuel injection.

closest you will get now is "new car" smell from air freshener

>>15278650
I want the blue datsun

When it got cleaned. Because all the smelly shit is gone.

Mulitport fuel injection and closer to modern emissions systems got rid of it. My catless tbi truck smells so much like raw fuel and exhaust in the cab it almost chokes you out.

This.

It's annoying how you can straight up measure it to the year.

Try a real car, like this.

The One:1 weighs 2900 lbs. Last time I checked it doesn't weigh under 2800 lbs like the GT, so no. It doesn't "weigh less".

>400km/h to 0 in less time than it takes your car to do a 1/4mi

Okay? How is braking a car impressive?

>>15279970
>Mad that a boring V6 shitbox can't compete with glorious master race V8 even when the V8 is held back

World record 0-300 and 300-0, track records, car automatically sets itself up for the track by downloading settings, worlds first 1mw production car, worlds first (and only) 1:1 power/weight production car, with the wings off it'd be the fastest top speed car in the world.

Cute little V6 with placebo glass can't compete

>>15279983
No just laughing at you benchracing a car that you will never own, drive, touch, or even smell and using that to somehow justify V8 superiority

It's like saying automagic transmissions are fastest because BAC mono, when in reality, you live in a world of corolla vs. civic.

>>15279978
>2800lbs
That's so cute, how you believe it.
Ford said '2890' which translates to '3000' dry when you take away the bullshit.
The One:1 is that weight when fueled.

>>15279992
And yet you'll never drive the cute little V6, either. Because ford decided to price it with the big boys with the real V8 and V12s.

Boy, I bet you're going to be real mad when you realize Ford has more Lemans wins than Koenigsegg too.

>>15279983
They're not really in the same ballpark. What are you trying to prove? Comparing it to the Hennessey Venom would be interesting.

Cool. How often do you drive your LMP on the streets?

We're comparing road cars, chump. And the shit sounding, slow V6 just can't keep up.
Can't wait to watch the videos of an old GT you can buy for 1/2 the price demolishing a new one because it's using a real engine.

'95 hilux

when you get close it's the sweet ATF smell (leaking steering box).

inside it's kinda neutral unless it rained and the mold growing behind rear seats spurted to life

when idling stingy half burned diesel stink

when driven hard some funny smell, like wood smoldering, don't know where that comes from, always reminds me of the forest


DD Ford Focus- plasticky new car smell despite being 10 years old

The interiors smell the way they do because vinyl.
The Gasoline smell is because Carbs.
The diesel smell is particle filters and "cleaner" engines

>>15274840
>catalytic converters

So the hydrogen sulfide masks all the other odors.

my evo smells of unburnt fuel and exhaust gasses

its scary to all 5senses

>>15282167
