I find that the exhaust from my car smells worse when I first start it. All I do is fire it up, back it out of the garage as soon as possible, push the button for the automatic garage door, and blast off. When I come back, I normally do leave the garage door open for a while to get all of the exhaust smell out before closing it up for the night. However, it sounds like I am luckier than you since my wife loves everything about the Cobra including the smell and the noise. She always wants me to run around with open exhaust.
I hate it when a 198? Honda worth $100 tries to get up right beside me to get a good look. I always wonder if that crate has any brakes, let alone insurance. I think it is really funny when the driver of the same hundred dollar crap can starts to rev it up at a red light. What does he expect me to do, be impressed with his mellon shooter tail pipe?
