bad smell

Does this happen to anyone else? After I turn on the car, and rev it up and stuff, the interior smells(and the smell sticks to my clothes). It smells kind of like my engine. Any ideas, or suggestions on what to do?

sounds like your cat is plugged up or you have a dead fish on your motor or exhaust. Maybe you have a dead cat pinned between your cat and underbody!

Take a good look.

Exhaust leak. Also, the rubber seal around the back of the hatch could be in bad shape. This causes exhaust gas to be sucked into the interior.

My friend bought a $400 fb, I was heloing him work on it and in the process we found about 10lbs of rat turds, and after we started her up we found the little critter that left them there. Boy he sure did leave a lasting impression on that car.
