Go to a car show and get a whiff of some pre-1970s cars driving around. Now imagine if every car on the road was like that. I can't imagine the stench of a city before the introduction of catalytic converters.
- ic0n0cl4st 6y agoLooking at pictures of highways from before caralytic converters and you notice that each lane had a pure black stripe from the exhaust.

- fuzzfactor 6y agoYou should have gotten a whiff Baton Rouge in the 1970's. With the large refinery making fuel for far more vehicles than this one moderate-sized city could ever use. And with orders of magnitude more emissions than the same noticeably smelly facilities today.
