Talking Does Your Truck Smell Good?

I was just wondering how everyone feels about how there truck smells, exhaust? I really like how mine stinks! It has that good strong diesel smell. I don't like how these newer diesels smell. Fords, Gms, Dodges, Vws, MBZs, etc. Its seems like they, manufactures, have "leaned" theses diesel out so much, its kinda almost smells like propane is being ran in them.

Anyways, it was just something that I've always noticed but this morning while out on a Doughnut & Ciniman roll run, I seemed to notice it more with all the Tourist, in town this weekend. O'well I guess thats what you get when you live in God's country.

Mine will cut your eyes out if you stand in the plume. I rarely have to fog a tailgater because nobody can stand to get that close.

I love the smell it makes when the smoke is black.

Inside, it smells like a farm truck. Outside, it smells good. The exhaust smells better with the cat gone. It'll burn your eyes good.
