Mine does the same - 73k miles - recent tuneup as well. Maybe "they all do that"? As has been mentioned here on the Board before, I also get a strong sulphur smell periodically while underway. Bit of an anomally isn't it - this pure bred, high tech machine that's given to emitting embarassing odors at random intervals. Gotta love it!!

Derek,
The sulfur smell is usually from the catalytic converters. I'm fairly sure there was a TSB on it (I seem to remember a post about this some time ago). This is very common during the break-in period on new cats of any manufacturer, and can last for a while.
