I remember farting in my car and blaming my buddy..I've never tried to pin it on the car though. LOL. Seriously though..

Sulphur in the form of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the smell common to rotten eggs, pulp mills and catalytic converters. Any engine problem that creates extra hydrocarbons in the exhaust, such as a high float level in the carburetor, a leaky fuel injector, or a misfiring spark plug, can result in exhaust that smells like rotten eggs.

The above is from a Google search. So, I'd guess a leaky fuel injector or maybe a bad cat.
