I did a post a couple of days ago about smelling like something is burning when I get out of my car after driving it. It's still happening. Not too sure about this, but I put my finger in my tailpipe and and it was black and wet. What does this mean? Oil going through the exhaust??? When I bring my car into Ford I want to have an idea of what to tell them so that they can't say "we don't know what that smell is or where it's coming from"

if it's indeed oil your engine is blown (and not the good kind of blown)

You could buy a honda or something.... Just kiddin' mayne. Hopefully it's nothing major like a blown engine. Don't stereotype all Ford's as bad, every make has their share of POS.

Are you sure that it wasn't just carbon build up with some condensation?

Not sure. If it is, how long would this smell last?

I've had this oil burning smell too for the first 200 miles or so. It'll go away with time, I guess it's the "break-in" smell.

EDIT: i saw that you have 1200 miles on the car..never mind what i said.

My 2000 has about 55000 on the odometer and if I drive around for a while with the RPM's high or stomp on it to redline through a couple of gears mine smells like burning oil. Is this normal or not? If not, why might it be doing this?

Well, as far as I know, a tech from Ford a while back told me that the mod. 4.6 motor burns oil pretty fast...Maybe it leaks out from somewhere as well

I would still put my money on break in, I remember both my new fords smelling like that.

first my 2000 GT, and I remember my 02 exploder had that smell when it was new. Of course both of those had a 4.6 in it too so maybe it's just the engine, but everything is running like a top now...no smells.
