Carbon monoxide replaces oxygen in the blood, binding to hemoglobin more effectively than oxygen, which leads to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues and forces the heart to work harder. It is a colorless, odorless gas commonly found in car and bus exhaust, resulting from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide can lead to serious health issues, including poisoning and even death.

Why would it smell like exhaust when inside when you are sitting or running the heater in a 1996 3.1 beretta?

It means you have a leak in your exhaust line, the exhaust should be completely vented away from the car by the pipe. Since your lungs pass carbon monoxide, one of the components of exhaust smoke, as though it were oxygen, into the bloodstream, but your cells which should be receiving oxygen can't use carbon monoxide, you could die from it. Immediate suggestion, get it towed to a company which repairs or replaces exhaust systems and have it fixed.
