Mine hasn't aquired a distinctive smell yet, haven't had it out of the garage in a few years. Hopefully when I do get it running I can get some cow manure smell all over it.


I think Lil Hotz Jr BIG DOG smells like BIG FOOT.

Some of it smells like fresh paint, unfortunately the other half smells like a old whore on welfare check day.

Seriously though... what is that Bronco smell? They definitely have a distinctive smell. It gets in my hair and clothes and I can't get it out. Even when I'm somewhere without a Bronco, I'll catch a whiff. "Something smells like Bronco."

Dixie smells like gas and antifreeze... yeah, I got some leaks.

I don't think mine has a smell. it used to smell like old upholstery and carpet, but all that crap is gone.
I almost always have the windows cracked open...so it usually smells a little like a pine forest, then it smells like dirt road after I get movin.
every now and then the thermostat will stick closed, and it'll smell like antifreeze...but once it pops open that smell goes away quick.

mine has that smell that you've smelled for so long that you don't notice it any more. I'll have to as an innocent bystander sometime... :p

Those hoods do take quite a bit of abuse without caving in, don't they?;)
Yeah, the best place to lay on is the left or the right side but not the middle...
Why do I know this?...............

Depends on the day and what I've been doing here are some of the smells:

- Old
- Antifreeze
- Gasoline
- Car exhaust
- My exhaust (usually the day after eating at Burritos Fiesta)
- Wet dog
- Dry dog
- Wet dog w/ a hint of skunk
- Lunch
- Rain
- Mud
- Burning (it smells like burning!)

You guys are too much. I don't know if it's the Hollywood lifestyle in Southern California or the fact that I did a really good job at patching any holes in my truck from the engine bay to the inside of the truck, but here's how it use to smell:


  • fuel
    exhaust
    burning oil
    moldy

    • Aftere the repair it some air freshners later it only smells like fuel when I have to fuel her up. Plus, getting a new exhaust aided in suppression of the noxious fumes.
