New Car Smell

[Ginuwite]

Could the "excitement" of getting a new vehicle be a result of the high we are supposedly getting from the "new car smell"........

Either way, my 7 month old daughter beat us both in the loading of the pants department. She's quite good at what she does....

here's a little info on that smell:

Exactly what gives rise to new car smell? The answer, not surprising to chemists, is a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), primarily alkanes and substituted benzenes along with a few aldehydes and ketones.

@rugger bugger : Yeah, I also get jealous when someone buys a new car. I love the smell of a new car.
