Shouldn't smell good, but does

Brākleen

Plastic body filler as it's curing

Raid bug killer

OMG I love those.

I wouldn't say I love it, but I always thought Hoppe's Number 9 bore cleaner smelled surprisingly good.

Leaded regular, or so my memory says. Wonder how good my memory is. Wonder how that relates to the density of leaded regular in the air at gas stations when I was a kid...

The smell of an old garage. 30 years of built up gas, oil, cleaners, almost leathery. 

Old dive bars, something about the combination of fryer grease, stale beer, and old smoke smells way better than it has a right to. 

Diesel fuel and diesel exhaust fumes. - smells like high school.

Acetone. - Reminds me of my childhood and clean, clean tig welds.

Black Ice Christmas tree car air fresheners.

Rust check - Built my first race car in a glass/rust check shop and every time I smell it it reminds me of those days

94 octane - Race night

Quick start AKA ether - My childhood and all the junk we worked on back then. I love me some ether

The smell of a body shop - Just because

The sense of smell is closely linked with memory, probably more so than any of our other senses.

Not the same thing, but Loc-tite tastes good.

Cigarette lit with a Zippo lighter.

It does NOT.

.049 model engines, or more specifically the burnt fuel.

Tap magic smoking off a large diameter tap in steel.

Bicycle tire and tube rubber.  Smells like every bike shop I used to drool over parts in...

The hot steel and burnt oil smell of a well-driven old car...

Surprisingly "does this rag smell like ether to you?" Isnt an effective pick up line.
