Do you ever find yourself getting light headed cause your sniffing the air so hard in your car at the slightest hint of a foreign odor? I catch myself doing this all the time.

I plead the 5th.

I did tell someone I was on the phone with the other day to shut up cuz I thought I smelled something unusual while I was driving.

Dont ask who the 'someone' was.....she didnt appreciate it. :(

Done this myself a few times though mine turned out to be from water that had leaked into the back of the car when the previous owner had not replaced the seal and the carpet got a little musty smelling . Still trying to get rid of that smell. :seeya

You may want to look in to that, you seem to be alone. Can't say that's ever happened to me.

I think that either you are alone or in a minority crowd. Most of us are listeners not sniffers and as such we can just turn up the radio. I do not know how to block off your sniffer unless you just fart.. :lol:

Whenever I smell something burning up when I'm in my car, I immediately look for any old junkers that are driving ahead of me, to make sure it's not my car burning/stinking. And 99.9% of the time I'm right. I smell something not right, and I look up and see a Mustang with the lovely 4.6 modular, belching smoke!!! :cheers:
