New car smell


After a year of waiting, it finally got delivered. Tomorrow I will press buttons and get it all set up.

reply

Especially when it is the smell of a BMW M8.

reply

So far, I've only reversed it into my garage. It's got just 14 miles on the clock - it wants to be released!

reply

Nice!

reply

Thanks, I’m like a kid with a new toy.

reply

reply

All Yellow, and with the 22 horsepower kohler motor, wider deck and even a cup holder for my...iced tea:)

Andy and I are gonna race for top dog out at Dead Man's curve Friday night
Be there or be square:)

This could be the start of a new film franchise. Ready? *ahem* I give you: -
Fast Not Serious!

reply

Let's film it in the L.A. River canal, I'll paint flames on my tractor so it looks super cool😎

reply

Whatcha gonna put in yer cup holder sport?

reply

Whaaa..? lemonade or iced tea of course!

Something might get splashed in there at some point but I start every day with the best of intentions:)

reply

In that case the sequel could be called: -
2 Fast 2 Delirious

reply

Sounds more like an addition to the Grumpy Old Men franchise.

reply

The script writes itself.

reply

'The Forgetful and The Fogey'
I would watch this for 90 minutes for sure

reply

Just Googled it - awesome! Now remember, don’t text and drive.

reply

I wouldn't want to wreck out at 5 mph☠️

reply

But, when you hit 5.5...... there’s just no telling what might happen.

reply

I'm thinking time travel!

reply

Impossible under 88mph.

reply

If we wear cool goggles and make the angry grimace face anything could happen!

reply

Back To The Future IV - The leaves had it coming!

reply

Don't look at your phone while driving. Today once again I saw a car that had a perfect front end collision - straight on and the whole front is wrecked equally left to right. I don't know what really happened but I'm guessing someone wasn't paying attention and ran dead on into some vehicle stopped in front of them. One time it was a city bus that got rear ended.

reply

I never play around with the phone in traffic...I think it's too risky and selfish

'Mute' it all the way home and catch up with your peeps on the couch where you wont cause a collision

reply

In a way I was trying to be funny because of the idea of crashing a lawn mover at 5 mph but I couldn't resist getting into a real traffic scenario. It's a pox, and I've heard adults claim that kids will be able to integrate the behavior into their driving habits. Well, I'm not concerned about people that DON'T get into accidents.
Anyway, enjoy your lawn mower, and don't do anything stupid !

reply

I'll try not to...I am a clumsy dummy though

If you ever hear a 'big dumdass crashes garden tractor and dies in the fiery wreck' on CNN just figure it's me;)

reply

Now THAT sounds like a good time!

reply

Thanks, should be fun

reply


Cup holder?

😎

reply

For real buddy!

reply


Excellent!

BTW, my yard is way too small for a riding mower. But a friend of mine has a huge yard. Occasionally
I get to cut her grass, which is great fun! I ride along singing the theme song from Green Acres,
and thinking:

"It's not how fast you mow, it's how well you mow fast!"

Her mower has a cup holder too.

Doing a big favor for a neighbor is a good move MMC2...I find this to be a fine habit, even when it's not very convenient to do so

You are a Gent!

reply


Thanks! So are you.

reply

I have a Cub Cadet that I think is 2007 model so at the least I can say they run forever. Lol

reply

Good to hear, they do get good reviews

reply

We had one in Florida...did the whole 5 acres for years. The seat had flip up arm rests. Daughter bought him the shade canopy for Christmas. Definitely a Kohler engine and he loved that beer can holder! I think we paid about $2500 back then...about 15 yrs ago.

reply

Up here in NY the snowplow attachment has my attention more than the sun canopy...but I need to save up for that:)

reply

It's carcinogenic, let it air out.

reply

New car smell is carcinogenic?
Explain that

reply

Some study found that that smell is not good for you.

reply

Seems like 'some study' is always stating that something is no good for us...'studies' are real downers
I choose to ignore them:)

reply

I think he's joking.

reply

It's likely
Bunch of jokers here LOL

Nice to see you Paladin!

reply

I'm very serious. Here is some reading for you:

reply

No...it's old news.

reply

One more excuse to get the roof down.

reply

Love that smell. Nothing quite like it. My 2013 Off Road (yeah, I go mud slinging 🙄😉) Toyota Tacoma double cab now smells like my perfume! No food permitted. No drink except water and definitely NO smoking! When I have it detailed they always inquire do I want the new car smell fragrance. “No thanks. It can’t be duplicated!” Whoever gets this truck after me is going to have a pristine truck!

reply

Horrible hayfever, can't mow grass. Bummer. Love to drive, tho! Older the better. Well, anything unmodified past the 50s is iffy. Don't know anything about new car smell :( Guess I won't get cancer!
