Smell after driving
After going out for a drive and parking in garage i get a plastic hot smell. I have 2500 miles on my GS in five months. has any one experienced this? I have left the windows done and the interior smells have mostly gone away. Thanks

I'm at 4100 miles on my 17 Z06 and have noticed an odor outside the car. I think it's from the exhaust but not sure. I was trapped in traffic on I-95 after a big rig crash and lowered the windows instead of idling with the AC on and it smelled like fish with new car smell blended in. I put the car in the air when I got home thinking I may have hit road kill or something. The exhaust looks and smells brand new. I can still detect a faint odor after it's been running.

Maybe a plastic bag got caught up on the exhaust.

i noticed that yesterday. After a 100 mile or so drive I parked in the garage with the top down. Went back int the garage about an hour later and I could smell the car. I just attribute it to cooling down. I don't think it is anything to worry about.
