What’s That Smell?
Have you ever been in your garage or shop working on your 4x4 and had someone walk in and tell you it smelled funny? Not “haha” funny but nasty funny. To them, shop smells may be weird, but to us wheelers, that smell is awesome, and it’s part of wheeling. For example, what wheeler doesn’t like the smell that permeates the air as metal is being ground? To us, it’s the smell of modifications being made—or stuff being repaired so we can go break it again. Personally, I developed a fondness for that smell back in the ’80s when I worked at a machine shop, and I still love the smell today. I know I’m not the only one. For me, it’s a comforting smell. I feel like I’m in one…
