Not too unusual although I don't know if anyone really has pinned this down to one source or other.

I did have one Ford that did something similar and it presented itself one when it did it to the extreme. On that one what would happen is that the drain holes for the cabin air intake would partially plug up and hold water. Move the car and the water would end up on the heater core. Finally when it got bad enough it fogged up the windshield which prompted me to look for the problem.

I haven't smelled it for awhile now but last winter was almost every day, but usually earlier than 20 or 30 minutes, usually it would occur as soon as the car was to full operating temperature and I would push it a little bit to turn on to a higher speed road.

Yea if I get on the car the problem arises soon that. Sometimes like 10 mins of driving if I hit the HW rightaway and for a few exits and then get off I smell it right away. Very weird considering I get both a tranny fluid and coolant smell..
