Is the car sitting when it starts to smell or is it moving?

no there are no forums like that, how ever it would be a good idea. i always seem to find things i want far away from where i live when i look in the market place. it would be nice to immediately narrow it down.

also your gas smell have you ever noticed if it was in certain areas like if you where following a car, or next to another car running? only reason i ask is because i was driving the other day and got a strong smell of gas and i pretty much realized it was this Cadillac in front of me with a gas leak the size of texas. right when i turned off away from him the smell was gone. had me nervous though for a bit thought i might have a gas leak.
