+1 about dealerships using armorall products, when i got my gsr 2 months ago it stunk for a few days, and tryin 2 work on anything in the engine was horrable, i remember taking off the tower bar my hands got all oily from that stuff...... not fun times

When I test drove an Evo for the first time, I noticed the scent also - normal for the car when it barely has any miles on it.
