I know the car runs rich but DAMN!

When i got back to mar car today, i turned it on and let it warm up while i was putting all of my stuff in the car, and i noticed that in the muffler tip were little droplets of fuel, all over the place.

Is that normal? Does the car really run that rich or should i have something checked out?

LOL its not fuel, its water condensation! Collect a cup and see if it burns... oh.. and water condensation is a normal by product of combustion... fuel + air + spark = water, CO2 and power

Actually that is condensation. Most cars do that when starting cold.

those weren't droplets of fuel, they were droplets of water...by-product of the warm-up and the cats...no problem, shoulda' disappeared when the engine warmed...

I'm sure you've seen the water vapor coming out of tailpipes on really cold mornings before...
