Make sure you don't have a plastic bag melted to your muffler or pipe. These cars are plastic bag magnets.

Nah it's normal if it's only when the car is cold. I have _exactly_ the same smell when I start up my car and it's gone after a few minutes. Though if someone feels this isn't normal, I would appreciate any feedback.
