Hates the smell of Bondo!?! And hates Jags?!? I love the smell of crankcase
oil and grease. One of my favrourite smells in the world? The smell of a cat
when it's been sleeping under warm car engine! That warm, soft furry,
greasey smell... Ahhhhh! Heaven! If they could only make a perfume like
that!
