New car smell is bad for you - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Canuck · 07-24-2007, 09:11 PM

It is the most toxic substance known to man. That's why when I get my new Yaris in a few days, I'll just have to use my nose to suck it out of the car. Just to keep the family safe of course.

Toxic? Now they say a can of soda (or pop) a day can cause heart disease. You can eat healthy, workout to be healthy and live the good life. The bus with the cancer causing diesel coming the other way will kill ya.

pssh everything can kill you.. even sex can kill ya... so what? are we going to stop doing it

Oh, yeah, but that HAS to be the best way to go!

It's funny how the "new car smell" has changed over the years. When I was a kid, the new car smell had to do with new wood (hardwood dash), real leather, wool carpets, even horsehair (seats and insulation). That is where the fascination with the "new car smell" first became attractive, but it sure ain't like that now.

I built a wood car (on a Toyota chassis, btw), and it smelled just fine; a few people even remarked on that feature...

Hee Hee...he said "wood". Hey, off topic....Brick? what the hell are you blowing up there in Dallas? Stay low!!!

TLyttle · 07-25-2007, 08:30 PM

Can't deny the old part, 68. I am always surprised that I made it past 30!!

Whatever he's blowin', it isn't anything we should be interested in, by the tone of his posts...

Lets dig an old thread out of the grave, shall we?

pinoypizzaboy · 01-16-2009, 04:00 AM

man I wish I can buy these chemicals in the store and pour it in my carpet. My car smells like smokes sweat and pizza. I miss that new car smell :)

nemelek · 01-16-2009, 06:41 AM

After a few bowls of my killer chili, I’ll inaugurate the car by passing gas. That usually neutralizes the smell of a new car.

The symptoms are from having just forked out over $13k of hard-earned cash or facing monthly payments for the rest of your life; the "new car smell" is merely coincidental and contaminates this research... BTW, I invested $2 in a can-o-scent... Problem solved!

Exactly the reason why my yaris slept with her windows cracked down a bit for like her first 6 weeks of life with me.

Is there a light in the hatch area (~`09) ? with my 2000 Civic I left the hatch open (garaged, no light) at night to get rid of the out gassing, smells good to me but so does cigarette smoke
