When my wife was test driving PT's she had her eye on the 03 Dream Cruiser in
the Tangerine metallic that was in the show room. They took it out so she could
drive it. About a mile down the road I though the engine was on fire it smelled
so bad. We wound up taking the elctric blue one and as you say they must of
driven it for a bit first because it nevere smelled.
