New car smell

Being a vert. I am surprised I still have the new car smell and being at 15600 miles,
I thought that smell was gone, but I took the stang out today and it's still there.

That's the smell of toxic fumes released from the foam and plastics that your interior is made of along with formaldehyde. Just so you know.

Many years ago I had a part-time gig delivering phone books. They were packed in a heavy duty vinyl wrap that gave my car that 'new' smell. That's when I realized where the smell came from in an actual new car. How disappointing.
