could be bad gas or a problem with your cat too. Had the same problem a few years back. The egg smell is sulfur from the gas.

Wash between your legs next time your in the shower. Here in Canada, body odor doesn't get you women...

my bro had the same problem in 2 different cars and they both were because the battery had exploded and the vent sucked in all the smell so my guess id to check it and see if it is still good

Had a similar problem in my old civic, it was the battery going bad.

On the other hand, same smell could be a plastic bag melted onto your catalytic convertor heat shield, if its that, just hoist it up and scrape off that plastic bag! (Happened to me too.)

Good luck, hope this helps.
