Iam relaxing finally ... sleeping...
Thank You Sir... I can't describe it other than an industrial smell...lubricants, cleaning stuff... As for the clothing, it is usually the cheapest laundry stuff they can find, with little to no freshener scent, and often the clothes are soaked through with hydraulic fluids, SBM, synthetic based muds, and other industrial based lubricants... When you're on the rig, you dont really notice it.. it's everywhere.... when off the rig, you get home and open the offshore bag and it amazes you how different it is...

Final choice will be between these two designs, ignore the finish, they will be polished so I have the choice of coloring them later or not...

These wheels would work for road courses and autocross, but there are better choices for drag racing imo...

I hear you, being dragged kicking and screaming back to the Gulf of Mexico put a severe hamper on my car budget...
