What's the worst smell in your garage?
I'd have to go with PB Blaster. That stuff is evil smelling. But damn if it doesn't work. What stinks in your garage?

It usually smells worst on Sunday afternoon. About three hours after my chorizo, onion, and egg breakfast.

+1 on the Blaster PB.
What's the best smell, you ask? The oil/old leather, iconic air-cooled smell that the ol' 911 gives off. It certainly overpowers the "new minivan" stench. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Had a '69 911T barn find. It hadn't run in a long, long time. I have an iron stomach, but the smell of the old gas made me want to puke.
