I liked the smell of leaded gas.  Ethyl was the best.  Unleaded gas smells like a shit.

Yeah me too! I worked at alot of full service gas stations up north in my younger days, if the filling tube was behind the license plate (do any cars fill behind the license plate anymore?) and it was cold out I was stooped down low behind the car trying to get shelter from the wind. I inhaled alot of leaded gas fumes.  :hmmm:Did I say that out loud?  :crazy: :spin:

A smell for everyone and no one
Something that's legal in two U.S. states
