How could you possibly NOT include laquer thinner in your
automotive potpourri? While you're at it don't forget a whiff of
Turbo Blue carefully refined in the engine of a full race TR4?
One of my favorite aromas was the combo of hot metal,laquer, fuel
and leather I sampled in a certain DB4 series 1 at Road America.
Or how about something you could call "Kettle Morraine Combo"...
(turbo blue exhaust, a touch of hot rubber and lubricants and
metal combine with essence of Wisconsin fall and fresh barbecued
brats).

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
