Cars that Kill

Sometimes Google Links pops up funny little things.. this is one of them.

Oh, and did I mention the Mazerati in the parking lot today? Now THAT is a killer car.

What is "new car smell"?
Well, here's the bad news -- that aroma is actually a collection of noxious fumes caused by the various glues holding the car's interior together. And while collectively it may smell good, it's not at all good for you.
ABC News explains that the new car smell may cause "headaches, sore throat, nausea, and possibly cancer." The United States doesn't have a law against the "volatile organic compounds" that cause new car smell, but some
countries do. In the U.S., "new car interiors can contain 128 times the legal limit" in Australia.
