Do you stink after driving with the top down?

i don't stink, but yes, i do smell like "outside" LOL. that phrase cracks me up.

i dunno OP, maybe there's something you need to get checked out if the smell is very noticeable? i don't mean you necessarily, but maybe your cat?

I have to agree with the last poster, maybe check your cat.

My Dino STINKS when it runs and when I come in the house the wife points right to the shower, but its a 40 year old car with 3 2-barrel webers sitting on top of a V6 (and a higher redline than my AP2 S2000). It stinks when it runs and being a convertible the smell comes right back in to the cockpit.

The S should not have that smell due to the cats in the exhaust, so if that is what you smell like get your car checked out. Otherwise, just enjoy the top down drive !!!

I go top down but, on the long drives I wear a cap and I find that helps. I don't smell any different driving with the top down vs up. Having the window down and my arm on the window sill will help deflect some air into the cabin, which helps to keep me cooler.

I shit ice cream.
