If you'd started your car with any choke, it would smell much worse than
when warmed-up and running at speed. If not, you're probably running a

gross polluter, asshole" (I've gotten a couple of those over the years).
Being the rude SOB that I am, I probably would have said "You don't
smell so good yourself."
