Smell of Gas? Should I be worried?

Hey all,

So I was driving the car pretty hard in sport plus on the highway, and I did a cool down in comfort for a few minutes before arriving home and parking it in my garage.

This morning, I went back out to my garage and the garage reeks of gas. Not quite sure if this or normal or if anyone else has experienced anything similar to this?

Is this worthy of a trip to the dealer or am I being dramatic

Reeks of gas? Certainly not normal. I would be concerned about starting it. If it were mine I would push it out of the garage and flatbed it.

not normal
Update: took my car out the garage and still smelled gas. Did a bit of poking around and found out it was my pressure washer leaking gas.

A huge relief but also a blonde headed moment... close call
