Could a Scent Improve your Drive?

Many automakers believe so. Some add proprietary leather scents, others use systems to perfume the cabin.

Read it online at Autonet.

Read it below clockwise.

Favourite line:

Rolls Royce quietly perfumed the interiors of customer’s cars, and afterwards, the customers informed the auto shop that their car was returned “different, and better”.

***

This is the Mercedes‘ “active perfume system.”

And Ford’s recommended driving smells.

I strongly disagree with Basil.

Rustye Number 9 in NASCAR

This past weekend I cheered on my friend Russ Bond, in his first NASCAR race.

He competed in the 1st race of 2014’s NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, held at Mosport.

Here he is mid-wave.

See the full wave here, which we find quite funny, but the internet does not, which makes no sense, and is like the ‘texting with this bear‘ thing all over again.

Non-car nerds: this is a tough race, because a NASCAR is designed to go around an oval track, left left left.

And this race is on a course which is clearly not, with a top speed of 260 km/h.

18th/30, probably would’ve been top 10 but for a small hiccup in the pits, ridiculously good.

Congratulations Russ!

If there ain’t rubbing, it ain’t racing.

 

 

A NASCAR Pitstop Looks like This

Readying to re-fuel.

Fire-retardant everything.

NASCAR rules state one thing per stop, as in, you can’t both refuel and change tires at the same time, it must be done in two stops.

A few seconds lost during the process, could mean falling behind 5 or 6 places out on the track.

Re-start the engine, push push push GO.
