[Healeys] smell of old cars

[Bob Spidell]

If you'd started your car with any choke, it would smell much worse than 
when warmed-up and running at speed. If not, you're probably running a 
tad too rich.

Her comment was likely a back-handed "You should get rid of that old 
gross polluter, asshole" (I've gotten a couple of those over the years). 
Being the rude SOB that I am, I probably would have said "You don't 
smell so good yourself."
