Topic: Worst Automotive Smell?
Open poll: what's the worst smell that a race car auto-generates? I'm not talking about when one of your co-drivers uses the driver's seat as their own personal bathroom or rips one as they're working on the car. This is about car smells only.
My personal worst smell is that smell that burned oil gets when you've blown the motor and you crack the crankcase and the smell just comes flooding out and you know that the motor is shot. Toasted oil smell. Plus then it's usually followed closely by the sound of burning all the money in your wallet for the next motor.
I haven't blown a transmission or diff (yet) but I'd bet the smell of toasted transmission or gear oil is even worse.
