Default strong odor of gas fumes from my exhaust

This may be normal and i may have just realized it because I was in a garage but I sprayed my motor of with purple power. I hopped in the car and started it up to help dry the motor off and while i was in the car i tacked the car up 3,500 rpm a few times with the clutch in to speed the process up. when i got out of the car i walked towards the back and I noticed this odor. i crouched down and sniffed the exhaust and it smelt like gas was poured in it. it may be cause i stomped the gas. is this anything to worry about or would my actions cause that in any vehicle?

yeah i have a cat. her name is whiskers. no just kidding but yes i do. i just read something off google that said the ecu has the car run richer to help it warm up faster but i dont know how much truth there is to that. its 35 degrees here and its the first time i started it up so maybe, i dont know. also im putting vtec in this car. i cant stand slow. i had an 06 evo MR but totalled it. now im planning on my second honda venture. 1st was a 98 with ls motor. had h22 to swap in but was stolen off my truck on christmas eve of last year. what motor should I be looking for. i dont want spray or any bull crap i want an all motor car that will make me pinned to the seat. my evo was nasty but today on youtube i watch a hatch with a k20 spank an evo 8 more than once from a roll.

Please don't get tough mr. michael richard obrien.

You want me to elaborate? Who starts their car in a CLOSED garage and then wonders why it smells?

It was a proven fact that years back , children who ate paint chips that contained lead- had underdeveloped brain functions.

So because you didnt understand the original comment how about this:

Eating paint chips = Stupidity
Starting your car in a closed garage = moronic

Need any further explanation mr obrien?

Oh and mr genius- When its cold , the computer dumps more fuel into the motor in order to make it start easier. So you being inside your closed garage, it being cold is the reason you smell gas.

how about you shut up because your message is all messed up too. "gargage" what the hell is that? im not here to argue if he didnt understand or what i wrote didnt make sense he could have asked for me to re-phrase it. i really dont want to have problems with anyone but i came here for other opinions, advice and support. i may be new to this forum but its not gradeschool." lets pick on the new guy" your 23 years old, and you dont realize that none of my previous comments were talking crap. come on man, think about it we are all here for other opinions and support not to run your mouth towards people and get into some stupid situation like this. you can accept the fact that i want no part in creating enemies or have a problem with you or the other guy but if you want to pursue this stupid argument than its on you but im not gonna argue online or let someone run thier to me if i can put my foot in it. seriously cool the f$#% down and think. what would you do if someone popped off like that. if you wanna be dumb and continue just come to charlottesville if its that important to talk s@%t then back it up.if thats not the case and you see where im comming from then im cool with you but this is seriously rediculous, my bad for not making sense but you could have asked me to elaborate. by the way if your not trippen we are in the same state what town are you from maybe you can help me get my car right if you're done acting like a dick.(your probably STILL gonna act like a kid but if your not let me know)

i thought i had explained that it wasnt really an enclosed garage. its a carport with a fence on on side a shed on the back and a deck on the otherside which attaches to my house.and yes i understand that running a car in a garage is a good way to get killed. anyway I was just wondering if it was normal and if there was any truth to the ecu running the motor rich at first so i guess you have answered my question. but please dont question my intelligence. im not some backwoods hick with no sense or education.
