Electra smelled like crayons.
Rodney smells like fast food, unless TDI-Sport did something about it. Monty still smells like mold.

I am ashamed to say, fast food, dog, and Power Service. If you've never smelled Power Service, it smells something like a devil's brew of turpentine, mineral spirits and diesel fuel.

I have a cold... so I'll get back to you on that one.
Aircooled Beetles certainly have a smell of their own... the passenger compartment has one, as does the engine compartment. My two favorite smells! They should make it a cologne... Eau de Houndstooth Vinyl and Eau de Mineral Based 20W50

Mine has always smelled like leather, and I thought all you people who said they smelled like crayons were a bit insane.
But sometime in 2009, mine started smelling like crayons too.
