Angry Smells In Rain

"2004 F 150 4.6" after parking in the garage stepping out of the vehicle ... Has anyone had the experience of a weird order after driving in the rain, I suppose something in the under carriage gets wet Its happened two times and have driven in the rain each time?

Maybe you need to switch deodorant.

Happened to me on a test drive...

I drove an FX4 the other night when it was raining. Smelled like hot brakes after we were done. I asked the guy and he was thinking it was the catalyst. He "guessed" it was because it was new and there was some coating or something that was being burnt off.
The other thing I've noticed about new cars/trucks in general is the interior smells like it went through a chemical haz mat spill. The "new car smell" now smells like stringent cleaners.

My 2004 f150 with 5.4 smells like sulfer and rotten eggs from the tail pipe everyone I talked to said it was the catalitic converter being broke in but all my other vehicles I have bought new never smelled like that.

"You fool, you and that dog killed me" Some things you just can't get wet.

No odor here in the rain, but I am outside.
