And if you ever happen to be driving that thing and you think you smell the faint aroma of a fine $3 cigar…..well…..turn on the power key and nail the gas for me just one time will ya?"
Every now and then I think I still get a faint aroma of cigar smoke and the cigar stories just keep coming. Here's a picture from a car show a couple years ago after some one presented me with a cigar.

correct me if I'm wrong but when you got the car didn't you have to strip the interior twice to get the majority of the smell of cigar? I remember hearing that story somewhere but that could just be internet foklore. I actually told the story of the "smell cigar smoke and hammer the car" on the podcast. I'm glad you enjoyed the post I was hoping you'd read it and get a kick out of it. If you remember, what did Doug smoke? I'd like to keep a few in the humidor at home as a tribute to him. You are very lucky to have that car, I'd love to have a piece of zr-1 history like that.
