if its the rotten eggs smell, then its just exhaust fumes

my car does the same thing.....i don't think it indicates a problem, but it still smells bad

i've gotta say i've never really noticed the smell with the windows up

it is more noticable with my windows down and i come to a stop at a red light.....then i get hints of the rotten egg smell
