Default Noticing sulphurous smell recently during hard acceleration
I have been noticing a sulphurous smell recently during hard acceleration. By recently, I mean within the last two to three months. (about 8K mi on the car) Similar to that of turbo-charged cars. ... and no, I haven't developed a new chili receipt.

Anybody else notice this?

Maybe you're accelerating just a bit too hard for your gf.
