Does your car seem to have less power? If so, you may have a bad catalyc converter. I would surely have your exhaust system checked out! Or you been eaten too many beans. LOL

I heard that a rotten egg smell was a bad battery.

I with you. Too many beans! lol!

Seriously, though, I've always thought that the rotten egg smell was a sure sign of a bad cat. Also, that's usually a sign that something else is bad that made the cat go bad. You definitely need to get it checked out.

I have noticed mine do it a few times, 2 or 3. Unless it happens continually, I wouldn't think it's a problem.

Yeah maybe the battery but im thinking its: Fuel - if it has additives it might smell - i know where i am they are required to put a decent amount of ethanol and it alters the smell quite a bit (that i notice)
