Default Does anyone else's garage smell like a barn?

On some days, I go into my garage and I smell horses.

I know this is coming from the leather seats, but I've had lots of cars with leather, and I never smelled this before.

It's not unpleasant, it's just there. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I guess it proves that it's real leather, but I wonder if it means it REAL good (or REAL bad) leather.

I have a roadster and usually have the top down in the garage, so that helps the "aroma" spread I guess.

I don't have an answer for you. But the thread is funny to read.

My garage smells like wood and rubber. My surplice wood stock and about 16 wheels are stashed in there.

Maybe your garage was a stable in a former life?

That is funny you're smelling horses in your garage. You may want to check for roadkill or any dead animal. My garage smells like the old spice guy - I'm on a horse!

Between the lawn equip, 4 4 wheelers and two cars, mine smells like exhaust and gasoline. Have to keep the windows up in the whips to keep them smelling nice. Did I mention I don't have leather?
