The "smokey" season is back.......

........so today i'm driving at night and make a right turn and have it in first and punch it and look in my rear view mirror and can barely see the cars' head-lights behind me because of all the smoke! And I also got that rotten egg smell, I f***ing hate winter for so many reasons!

Ya, I notice after 1-2 times of flooring it, both the smoke and smell are present but afterwards it's all normal!

It's not as noticeable in warmer weather; but when it gets cooler, the AF mixture changes because of cooler and denser air. The rotten egg smell is the result of changing from lean for a while then go to rich quickly.
