Ever sit in a 40 and 50 year old Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, or Cobra?

(ya the mustang and Camaro aren't quite 50 but you get the point)
Thanks!

The sense of smell, known as olfaction, uses a sensory organ called the nose to pass scent information on to the olfactory cortex in the brain. Diffuse suspensions of relevant molecules, called odors, are analyzed by the nose using a molecular lock-and-key scheme whereby odors are identified by their unique chemical signatures.
The sense evolved as a means of detecting survival-relevant information about the external world, especially appraising food. Smell is the oldest of the senses, with analogues dating all the way back to the first animals 600 million years ago. One of the five primary senses, smell is most intimately associated with the formation of memories.

Olfactory receptor neurons, the cells responsible for smell, are located on a 1-by-2 inch strip of tissue called the olfactory epithelium, located about 3 inches above and behind the nostrils. The human olfactory epithelium is about 16 cm², contrast with some dogs which have 150 cm².
With advanced color vision, sight can be considered the primary human sense: smell plays a more limited role, primarily related to food and sexual bonding. The olfactory receptor neurons are surrounded by supporter cells which excrete mucus, making it easier to pick up odor molecules. The nostrils are covered in hair to prevent the intrusion of unwanted organisms and inanimate material from the environments.

So given the facts of these various physical characteristics, and that a subsequent assumption can accurately be made that these factors must be present in order to smell a particular odor, and subsequent to that, it can be deduced that there MUST be a property existing that said characteristics can utilize in the process explained above, I deduce that YES, it does have a smell.

Well, at least you proved that you know to copy and paste.

It has buckets so the shifter is no problem being back farther then a s10-15 T5. I can make a custom handle to move it more forward or do the rustang T5 stick on backwards like folks do.

A PM I got recently. Thought I'd share.

Its the guys just keep hitting on her at work and everywhere. Even facebook they are all over her. Sometimes it just drives me crazy.

You face any of this and how do you deal with it?

Thanks in advance.......and feel free to tell me to go away........lol
You only have to trust one person. Simple.

For me, my father taught me that jealousy is the most common and first dagger in the death of a couple as far as being a couple. I taught myself to go into ANY and EVERY relationship with the idea that it's just temporary. If you don't care what she does then she can't feel smothered. Thit way if she leaves, you're not too bothered by it, and it isn't because you were jealous. You weren't, you just let her be herself. You gotta be careful though. You don't want her to feel like you just don't care about anything having to do with the possible advancement of a possible relationship, even though you don't. This is in the very beggining of course. If things work out, then you'll care for HER, but still allow her to be her. You'll care for her safety and well being but other than that, you still won't care what she does or who she sees and where she goes. She'll tell you what's going on and that should be good enough. You'll know when you can trust her. She will let you know. NOT by telling you, but by how she loves you. Not physicaly, but love is shown by what we do.

I know Bonnie is a big girl. She can take care of herself as far as guys hitting on her. Of course I've dealt with it. For the passed almost 19 years since early 1992 when I met her. I think it's funny most of the time. If Bonnie wants me to put a stop to something when someone doesn't get the hint, then I will. And have. But VERY seldom. Most women want to feel like they are desired. Nothing wrong with that. A little flirting is normal. I don't expect her to flash her wedding ring everytime a cashier or waitor walks up. If someones obvious attraction to her is exciting or makes her feel good, I'm perfectly fine wiht that.

Basicaly I feel if I'm gonna be jealous, then life sucks. The minute I'm bothered by her walking out the door, as far as wondering where she's going and what she's doing from a jealousy standpoint, then I'm just getting a divorce. Because you can't enjoy the union like that. It's a misserable life to live with jealousy. For both sides. I've seen it. It really is pathetic. Bonnie is free to go where she wants, and see who she wants. I don't have to know who and where. She's earned that. And I have to. There is no place and nowhere and nothing I wouldn't let her go and do and see if she wanted.

Tons of guys hitting on her? No problem, I just have to know HER. And that takes care of all them.

Thanks again.

Most of that process doesn't work unless you used it from the beggining. Because you weed out the wrong ones. At this point I'd say you just give her space and she should appreciate you for it.

Good luck.
