I don't think we ever covered the "new car smell"I will be there on Monday, 11/21.

Meh. That smell is harder to appreciate by itself if your dad was an automotive plastics engineer, and he reveled in telling people which particular vapor released from all the plastic was responsible for each aspect of the smell, along what those vapors in concentration could do to a person given enough time. He always insisted that the production ideal was to make sure that any new car had as little smell as possible coming from the plastics, sentiment notwithstanding, and that he had smelled enough plastics already, anyway.I don't think we ever covered the "new car smell"
Did you guys notice the engine in the E1c is different from the E1a? For example, the E1a had coil-over-plugs, while the E1c doesn't.

The E1c's engine looks closer to the one in the P5.
Also, there appears to be a crankcase breather filter(?), and a louvered belly pan beneath the engine compartment.
