Even at 91,000 the smell lingers in the air.

Perfect description. The smell reminds me of the cars and motorcycles I had in the 1960's.
My 997 still gives that smell at 13 years old and 60k miles.

It may be weird but yes I do like the smell of oil, super high octane gas (VP1), exhaust, tires. Totally reminds me of my motocross racing days. Good times!

Wish I could bottle that smell, splash the Porsche logo on the bottle, sell it as a cologne for $250 per bottle, then get rich and buy a RS.
